DHL Inaugurates Global Hub at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport
DHL, the world’s leading logistics company, has launched its newly expanded hub for the Americas at the Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky (CVG) Airport.
The event marks the culmination of a $105 million, four-year effort to enhance this facility to meet the growing international shipping demand of large multinational corporations as well as small business customers.
“The completion of the CVG hub is a further milestone in the continuous expansion of our international express network. We are growing, building for the future and providing U.S. companies with the logistics support they need to succeed globally,” said Frank Appel, CEO Deutsche Post DHL, at the inauguration ceremony.
The enhancements include a new 180,000-square foot sorting facility specifically designed to accommodate larger express shipments; an expanded south ramp for additional wide-body aircraft; an employee and pilot building; and a facility-wide information technology upgrade.
The CVG global hub sits at the heart of the DHL U.S. network with flights connecting customers from over 220 countries and territories worldwide to every corner of the U.S. In addition to global hubs in Hong Kong and Germany, the CVG hub completes the backbone of the DHL intercontinental network.
With a focus on continuously improving its international network, DHL recently launched new direct flights between CVG and Japan and increased capacity into Australia. The new flights improve transit times on key trade lanes connecting Asia, the U.S. and Latin America, as well as expand intra-Asia connectivity.
