DHL expands US-Hub at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport
DHL responds with major investment in North America to the growing demand of international express customers
The worldwide active logistics group DHL will invest USD 22.5 million to expand its hub facility at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky airport to meet the growing demands of international shipping customers. Starting in March, DHL will build on 19 acres of land leased from the CVG Airport authority to expand its apron and construct nine new aircraft gates. The expansion will enable parking for nine additional wide-body aircrafts that will connect the United States to points in Asia, Europe and the Americas. This is the second stage of a two year, USD 40 million investment to enhance operations at the Cincinnati hub which includes technical equipment upgrades and various facility improvements. In the past two years, DHL restructured its U.S. Express division, focusing on its core specialty in border crossing express business. The company added an entirely new selection of Time Definite import and export express services and flights from Paris and Frankfurt to the U.S. to further expand its next-day service from Western Europe.
