Deutsche Post fails to appease UPS
US-based United Parcel Service (UPS), the world’s largest express forwarding group, is still refusing to withdraw its legal complaint against Deutsche Post, the German postal and logistics group, on grounds of unfair competition, in spite of the announcement by the German company that it is to sell its shares in US airline DHL Airways, which is to be renamed Astar Air Cargo by its new owners. UPS is arguing that Astar Air Cargo will still depend upon Deutsche Post subsidiary DHL Worldwide Express for more than 90 per cent of its orders.
