UPS Expands India-Europe Freight Operations with Extra Flight

UPS has expanded its freight network between India and Europe by adding an additional weekly freighter flight between Delhi and Cologne. The move comes amid rising demand for fast and time-sensitive shipments to Europe and the United States.

The new flight, operated using a Boeing 747-8 freighter, will double UPS’s airfreight capacity on the Delhi–Cologne route. From Cologne, cargo is connected to destinations across Europe and the US, one of India’s key trading partners.

UPS noted that the expansion supports growing demand from sectors such as automotive, industrial manufacturing, retail, and healthcare. The company attributed the demand surge to recent policy reforms, enhanced manufacturing competitiveness, and better access to global markets.

Europe has emerged as India’s largest trading partner, with bilateral trade in goods valued at $137.4 billion in the last fiscal year.

The expansion is part of UPS’s broader investment strategy in India. In recent years, the company has launched an air express operation in Bengaluru, doubled capacity at its Delhi facility, and opened a temperature-controlled cross-dock facility in Hyderabad. UPS has also partnered with InterGlobe Enterprises to launch Movin, a dedicated logistics venture in India.
