Seeing growth in Latin American economies, UPS has increased its cargo capacity by more than 50 percent on 19 weekly flights in that region.
The Sandy Springs-based logistics company has replaced smaller planes with larger ones to expand the capacity of its express air network from Miami to Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, Guatemala and Nicaragua.
Latin American economies grew an average of 6 percent in 2010, UPS said. The company intends to expand its reach in the Americas, Asia and other parts of the world, and as such has 20 of the larger planes on order for continued capacity expansion.
“We are committed to helping customers grow their businesses to the United States and to expand their businesses to new markets around the world,” UPS international president Dan Brutto said in a statement.
