DHL introduces new Boeing 767 service in Detroit

DHL has introduced a new Boeing 767-200 cargo flight at Detroit Metropolitan Airport. DHL said that the new flight will allow it to “provide earlier delivery times and later pick-up times, equally by one hour on average”.

Karsten Aufgebauer, Senior Vice President and General Manager for DHL Express in the Midwest, said: “Our expanded service window and the additional capacity of this aircraft are essential to accommodate the increasing volumes that are being generated by major automotive companies and suppliers as well as other businesses based in the region,”

The Boeing 767-200 flight operates daily between the DHL Americas Hub at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport (CVG) and Detroit, with a stop in Minneapolis to connect with freight routed to and from Canada. It is operated by Atlas Air, Inc., a subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide, a leading global provider of outsourced aircraft and aviation operating services.
