DHL picks Ohio for hub

Posted by | Jun 25, 2004 | |

The heated competition to land the consolidated hub for DHL cargo has been won by the Wilmington, Ohio, airport and lost by Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky International Airport. The USD200 million DHL facility at the Cincinnati airport will become a “back-up hub,” with its current 1,200 job workforce being reduced through attrition to a 300-worker force by fall 2005, Jonathan Baker, DHL director of corporate communications said today. “That facility is going to be used for the foreseeable future as a backup air hub and sort facility. So we are not closing down CVG,” Baker said. “We currently employ about 1,200 people. About 400 of those are full-time positions and about 800 are part-time positions. We do not anticipate that this announcement is going to lead to involuntary severance,” Baker said, citing the 40 percent attrition rate in the sort center staff. at the Cincinnati airport.
