UPS Expands to Pearson International Airport

The following message to CSCB members is from UPS.

UPS' steady growth in air import and export volume has enabled the company to enhance its service offering by expanding to Pearson International Airport in Toronto. Plans are in place to re-route a UPS flight segment currently arriving in Hamilton, Ontario to Pearson Airport, resulting in increased efficiencies for our Greater Toronto Area (GTA) customers. Effective July 27, 2004, all UPS shipments that arrive in Pearson will be reported and released through Port 497. Hamilton will continue to be our primary air hub in Canada for both in-bound and out-bound domestic and international flights.

This new service enhancement will enable UPS to provide superior service to our customers within the GTA by offering earlier deliveries and later pick up/drop off times. This change will also improve UPS' competitiveness within the marketplace allowing us to continue to grow our business.

UPS is providing this advance notice in order for members to consider any adjustments required by your firm either in the port of Hamilton (port 417) or Toronto Pearson Airport. We hope we can count on your support to create a seamless environment for this transition.
