| Thank you for your past surveillance of United Parcel Service Co.     |
| (UPS) (IPXA), an all-cargo carrier, in support of the UPS Certificate |
| Holding District Office located in Louisville, Kentucky. As of April  |
| 4, 2005, our office will conduct certificate management and           |
| surveillance using the Air Transportation Oversight System (ATOS).    |
| Therefore, you will no longer need to include UPS in your annual work |
| program planning. All remaining NPG (R) and (P) inspections on this   |
| carrier should be terminated in accordance with ORDER 1800.56D and    |
| ORDER 8400.10, Appendix 6, Figure 4-1. We would appreciate your       |
| continued support with incident reports and notifying us of any       |
| occurrences involving UPS, and of course your help in investigating   |
| those events when needed. Please extend our thanks to all of your     |
| staff members for the support that they have given us over the years. |
| Your courtesy and contributions have been greatly appreciated.        |

| Every quarter we want to make it a practice to recognize outstanding  |
| performance from within our team. Any team member can nominate one of |
| their fellow team members, but the management team will make the      |
| final selection.                                                      |

| During the last fourteen months, the UPS Certificate Management Team  |
| (CMT) has faced tremendous challenges in providing quality oversight  |
| on United Parcel Service (UPS) air operations. With the loss of key   |
| personnel to retirement, re-assignment, and the transition to ATOS,   |
| maintaining focus, as well as the resolve to do more with less,       |
| seemed at times to be an impossible challenge. In April 2004, a key   |
| ingredient was added that contributed to the success in overcoming    |
| the challenges that the team faced: Mr. Keith DeBerry was selected as |
| the Supervisory Principal Maintenance Inspector.                      |
|                                                                       |
| During his initial briefing, Mr. DeBerry was challenged to provide    |
| the quality leadership needed that would foster unity and a positive  |
| team spirit. During this fourteen-month period, Keith supported       |
| management's philosophy, which resulted in the unification of the     |
| various specialties.                                                  |

| []{#China .anchor}***New Route Access to China*** *by Neil Humphrey*\ |
| Starting March 29, 2005, UPS will begin operating on a new shorter    |
| route (L-888) across central China. This route saves both time and    |
| fuel for the non-stop flights between Cologne, Germany and Hong Kong. |
| UPS had been requesting authorization to use this new route from the  |
| Chinese government for over a year and received the required          |
| authorization in March 2005. It is estimated that they can save       |
| between 5,000 to 10,000 pounds of fuel for each flight, and about     |
| thirty-five (35) minutes of flight time from their present route.     |
|                                                                       |
| This route marks UPS\' first operational use of Future Air Navigation |
| System Technology (FANS). Because there is little, if any, ground     |
| control infrastructure along the route, flight crews will communicate |
| with air traffic control by satellite data-link (CPDLC).              |
|                                                                       |

| UPS is making plans to add additional capacity on one of its most     |
| profitable routes. Beginning May 28, Flight 6906/6907, which operates |
| to Australia, will increase the size of the aircraft used, thus more  |
| than doubling the payload between Honolulu and Sydney. The flight,    |
| which operates once a week, from Louisville through Ontario and       |
| Honolulu to Sydney, currently uses a B-767. By upgrading to an MD-11, |
| available payload departing Honolulu increases from 75,000 to 155,000 |
| pounds.                                                               |

| The Regional Airport Authority began construction of Phase II of the  |
| West Runway Extension Project at the Louisville International Airport |
| in mid-March. When complete, the \$20 million project will permit     |
| aircraft to take off with largest loads to destinations as far away   |
| as the Pacific Rim and Asia. The extension will provide Louisville\'s |
| air carriers, including UPS, with the same competitive advantage that |
| other similar airports, such as Memphis, TN, offer in competing for   |
| international business. The runway extension will also increase       |
| takeoff safety margins, which means aircraft will have greater        |
| stopping distances in the event of a rejected takeoff.\               |
| \                                                                     |
| UPS announced it will integrate its new heavy freight operations into |
| its existing network with a major expansion of its Louisville cargo   |
| operations. A new \$82.5 million, 700,000-square-foot heavy freight   |
| facility will be added to the existing Louisville operations. The     |
| announcement is expected to bring 720 new jobs to Louisville with an  |
| estimated annual payroll of US\$12 million. At its launch in          |
| Louisville, the operation is expected to have 120 new full-time       |
| positions and 600 part-time positions.                                |
|                                                                       |
| Several other states also were considered as bases for the heavy air  |
| freight operation, but yesterday\'s decision of the Kentucky Economic |
| Development Finance Authority to extend tax incentives to UPS helped  |
| bring the operation to Louisville. The authority approved the project |
| for up to US\$20 million in incentives to attract at least 400 few    |
| full-time jobs over the next 10 years.                                |
|                                                                       |
| \"UPS is grateful that the state extended this offer,\" said John     |
| Hindman, UPS Airlines vice president of Public Affairs. \"UPS wants   |
| to continue to build on the highly successful partnership UPS and     |
| Kentucky have long enjoyed.\"                                         |

| services through its Worldport Hub.                                   |

| UPS\'s international route structure continues to grow with 12 new    |
| China flights. In addition, new aircraft are being added to the       |
| fleet. UPS expects delivery of 13 A300s and 11 MD-11 aircraft during  |

| acquisition of 10 Airbus A380s, which it plans to begin flying in     |
| 2009.\                                                                |

| On Feb 21, 2005 UPS implemented the [Aviation Safety Action Program   |
| (ASAP)](ht                                                            |
| tp://www.faa.gov/safety/programs_initiatives/aircraft_aviation/asap/) |
| for their pilots. This is a voluntary FAA safety program that         |
| addresses safety issues through corrective action rather than         |
| enforcement action. The Event Review Team (ERT) is comprised of a     |
| representative from UPS, the Independent Pilots Association (IPA) and |
| the FAA. The ERT is responsible for reviewing each submitted ASAP     |
| report and taking appropriate follow-up action. The ERT uses the      |
| de-identified information gained through ASAP to feed a database,     |
| which will be used to identify trends. The ERT recommends a variety   |
| of proactive measures to improve safety, the goal through this        |
| \"Partnership in Safety Approach\" with its pilots is to make UPS a   |
| safer operation.\                                                     |

|  UPS Places Order for 10 Airbus A380 Freighters *(UPS Press Release)* |
|                                                                       |
| LOUISVILLE, Jan. 10, 2005 - Moving to expand the capacity of its air  |
| network to accommodate strong international growth, UPS (NYSE:UPS)    |
| today announced a firm order for 10 A380 super-jumbo freighter        |
| aircraft made by Airbus.\                                             |
| \                                                                     |
| In a related decision, UPS and Airbus have agreed to amend a previous |
| order for A300 aircraft. \"The A380 will allow UPS to effectively     |
| meet the fast-growing demands of our customers across a variety of    |
| global trade lanes,\" said John Beystehner, UPS chief operating       |
| officer and president of UPS Airlines. \"This plane offers an         |
| exciting combination of payload and range that will help improve both |
| the capability and efficiency of our international network.\"\        |
| \                                                                     |
| \"We are extraordinarily pleased to have UPS join the growing list of |
| A380 customers, particularly because their order demonstrates the     |
| strength of the aircraft as a freighter for air carriers based around |
| the world,\" said Noël Forgeard, Airbus President and Chief Executive |
| Officer.\                                                             |
| \                                                                     |
| Deliveries of UPS's A380s are scheduled to begin in 2009 and run      |
| through 2012. The order also gives UPS the option to purchase 10 more |
| of the planes. The purchase price of the aircraft was not disclosed.  |
| UPS has not yet made an engine selection for the A380. Under the      |
| agreement regarding A300 aircraft, UPS is reducing its previous order |
| for 90 planes to 53. To date, 40 A300s have been delivered and the    |
| remaining 13 will be delivered by July 2006.\                         |
| \                                                                     |
| The A380 has the capacity to carry three decks of cargo with          |
| container capacity of nearly 40,000 cubic feet and a maximum          |
| structural payload of 330,000 pounds. With a range of 5,600 nautical  |
| miles, the A380 can fly non-stop to places around the world that used |
| to take two or more flights.\                                         |
| \                                                                     |
| UPS's international business has been very strong. During the third   |
| quarter of 2004, for example, UPS's total international export volume |
| climbed 13.2% over the prior-year period. Asia export volume          |
| increased 29% and export volume out of China more than doubled        |
| compared to the prior year. \"We continually evaluate and adjust the  |
| company's air network to meet the needs of our customers,\"           |
| Beystehner added. \"Our strong international growth has increased our |
| need for larger aircraft and the super jumbo is part of that          |
| solution.\"                                                           |
