Best known for its trademark brown trucks, vans, and scooters, UPS delivers almost sixteen million packages in 220 countries around the globe every day. The company also boasts one of the world's largest plane fleets - 223 aircraft. Worldport, UPS' main airhub, is home base for that fleet - almost half of all UPS's air deliveries fly through here. Upon arrival, parcels are unloaded, scanned, sorted by size and location and then flown out of the facility - all within the hour.
