Deutsche Post's DHL struggles with delays new Leipzig hub

Deutsche Post World Net AG’s express unit, DHL, is struggling with delays at its new cargo hub in Leipzig, Die Welt reported, citing pilots’ comments in internet forums.
The newspaper quoted a spokesman for the German mail services company as saying everything is going according to plan.
Deutsche Post plans to inaugurate the 300 million euro Leipzig hub, its third global hub after Hong Kong and Wilmington, United States, officially on May 26.
The report said pilots have claimed that ground staff at the new hub has not yet been sufficiently trained.
It alleged some flights have been redirected to Brussels, DHL’s previous hub.
The start-up of DHL’s Wilmington hub was delayed by several months, putting pressure on the start of Deutsche Post’s U.S. express operations, which have posted unspecified losses since the company entered the market in 2004.
