                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 20, 2022

  Mr. YARMUTH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Brendan Canavan, 
President of UPS Airlines and head of UPS's Worldport Freight Facility 
located in my district in Louisville, Kentucky, as he begins his 
retirement after 41 years with the company.
  Under his leadership, Worldport has grown to a 5.2 million square-
foot facility that processes more than 2.4 million packages a day, 
thanks in large part to its massive air operation and a team of more 
than 3,200 skilled pilots led by Brendan at UPS Airlines. His work has 
helped grow the UPS Airlines fleet to more than 290 aircraft that 
circle the globe ensuring that the goods and packages they're trusted 
to carry are delivered on time.

  Brendan first joined UPS in 1981, loading trucks while earning his 
degree at Villanova University. Since that time, he has worked his way 
up through leadership of the company here in America and abroad, 
becoming a trusted leader and working in numerous positions around the 
world to help expand UPS's operations and meet the challenges of an 
always changing global economy. No matter the assignment, Brendan 
Canavan answered the call.
  On behalf of the people of Kentucky's Third Congressional District, I 
congratulate Brendan Canavan on his successful career at UPS and wish 
him the very best in his much-deserved retirement.
