NEW DELHI: American supply chain major UPS has expanded its global smart logistics network with a new airport gateway facility at Bengaluru. A Boeing 747-8 will now connect UPS’ customers in India with more international trade opportunities in Asia, Europe and the Americas.
This is UPS’s second dedicated airport gateway facility in India after Delhi that it had started in 2020. The Bengaluru facility will provide in-house customs clearance and serve as a cross-border trade link for southern India, giving customers an extended pick-up time of up to two hours, while strengthening supply chains for cross-border trade.
Deepak Shrivastava, UPS MD for the Indian Subcontinent, said: “Customers are at the core of our strategy and we’re on a mission to deliver what matters for them. According to the ministry of commerce and industry, for the first time, in financial year 2022, exports have surpassed $400 billion, demonstrating the strength of India’s supply chains and the resilience of its small businesses. We’re here to support that growth.”
