From UPS
<< UPS said today it expected to run a "full up" air operation within the United States Thursday night and as a result, would deliver almost all of its backlog of Next Day Air® express packages by Friday morning. All other air packages will be delivered by early next week.
"UPS's integrated air and ground network allows us to clear our system of any backlog rapidly and to provide our customers the best service possible in these trying times," said UPS Chairman and CEO Jim Kelly. "We've kept most of the air packages moving via our ground network the last two days so we have a good headstart. We'll get most of our delayed express volume delivered Friday morning."
UPS's announcement followed the issuance of an order Thursday morning by Transportation Secretary Norman Mineta reopening the national air system. The company said it already had come into compliance with new security guidelines issued by the federal government.
"In addition, we have been assured by the various U.S. airports we use that they will be up and running tonight after complying with the FAA's directives," said Kelly. "So we're preparing for full operation. We're also hopeful the FAA will clear the way for international flights soon."
Ever since Tuesday's tragic terrorism attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., UPS's ground network has operated in a near normal fashion even as it expanded to handle many of the express packages that typically would move by air.
Deliveries and pickups occurred on schedule, with the exception of portions of Manhattan and Washington, and ground and air packages kept moving through the integrated transportation network. Outside the United States, the company is operating close to normal within the various regions of the world.
Wednesday night, UPS was allowed to move 11 jet freighters in preparation for a full-scale reopening of its air system. Another 25-to-30 jets will be moved this afternoon.
"Our thoughts and prayers remain with those people who were impacted by the tragic events in New York, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania," Kelly concluded. "At the same time, we have been extremely proud of our employees' efforts during these trying times in keeping the flow of commerce and critical supplies moving."
On disaster relief efforts, Kelly said UPS already is working with federal and national relief organizations as well as community leaders to coordinate the movement of supplies. Individuals interested in assisting should contact those organizations, such as the American Red Cross and United Way of America. >>
