First DHL branded Tupolev now linking Moscow and Leipzig

DHL launched its first DHL branded Russian-built aircraft, a narrow-body Tupolev-204C aircraft. The Tupolev, branded in DHL’s trademark yellow and red coloring, took to the skies from Sheremetyevo International Airport on July 5, 2008, going to Leipzig/Halle airport, the home of DHL’s new European hub, which opened in May 2008. The Moscow-Leipzig flights will operate 6 days per week, and offer a capacity of 28,000kg per sector.

‘We are proud to also have a Russian aircraft flying in DHL branding. This shows our commitment to Russia and underlines our successful development in the Russian market’, said Adrian Marley, General Manager of DHL Express Russia.

DHL plans to strengthen the network for its customers’ cargo to ensure maximum uplift of their goods. This is expected to further enhance DHL’s proven ability to provide on-time, reliable delivery of shipments around the world and to take the company’s customer service to a new level.
