Muhammad Ali International Airport is the largest hub of UPS
Louisville’s Muhammad Ali International Airport is UPS’s largest global hub (Worldport), which is spread over approximately 5 million square feet. Here more than 12,000 employees process about 20 lakh parcels every day. For this reason, this accident has become a matter of great concern for UPS.
