UPS launches new service

JAKARTA (JP): United States-based courier company United
Parcel Service (UPS) launched on Monday an overnight delivery
service between Indonesia and Sydney aimed at facilitating
business between Indonesia and Australia, particularly ahead of
the upcoming 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.

PT Cardig Citra Primajasa/UPS Indonesia president Jeff
Fairbairn said the overnight service to Sydney would allow
Indonesian businesspeople to take advantage of the Olympic Games
being held in neighboring Australia by enabling businesses to
send urgent packages to Australia in the shortest possible time.

Fairbairn said the Sydney overnight service would give
Indonesian businesses the flexibility to tailor make products in
Indonesia, produce them and have them ready to sell in Australia
using the UPS Express Service.

The service is also part of UPS' effort as a partner of the
Sydney 2000 Olympics to help promote the event. (gis)
