UPS, a global leader in logistics, has revealed that one of its 747 Jumbo Jets dedicated for long-haul international use is sporting a modified paint scheme highlighting the company’s role as official logistics partner for Expo 2020 Dubai.

UPS has only modified the livery of an aircraft four other times in the airline’s 30-year history, said a statement from the company.

Each of those times signifies a major news event – this time, it’s to mark UPS’s unique role in delivering one of the world’s most complex logistics challenges at the upcoming Expo 2020 Dubai, it said.

Expo 2020 Dubai will take place from October 20, 2020 to April 10, 2021, and will be the first World Expo to be held in the Middle East, Africa and South Asia (MEASA) region.

Millions of visitors from around the world are expected to attend the Expo in the UAE. During the event’s six month run, UPS will manage all of the logistics of the event, using a team of nearly 1,000 employees and a dedicated 290,000-sq-ft warehouse, it stated. – TradeArabia News Service
