UPS has opened a new airport gateway facility in Bengaluru, India — its second dedicated airport gateway facility in India after opening its Delhi airport gateway in 2020.

The new facility at Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru (BLR) is meant to provide in-house customs clearance and serve as a cross-border trade link for UPS in southern India, extending the pick-up time of up to two hours, while also boosting supply chains for cross-border trade.

"With the new flight scheduled to pass through BLR five times a week, and with six weekly flights coming into Delhi, the opening of the Bengaluru gateway almost doubles the number of flight rotations for UPS in India," the express airline said.

Additional intercontinental flight

Meanwhile, UPS also announced a new intercontinental flight using a Boeing 747-8F aircraft that will connect its customers in India with more international trade opportunities in Asia, Europe, and the Americas.

The global logistics company noted that this is the third year in a row that it has introduced new flights into its network, after services to and from Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City (2020), and to and from Osaka Kansai, to and from New Delhi and Cologne and Naples/Milan and Cologne (2021).
