Posted by | May 29, 2006 | |

Czech express delivery provider DPD said it dispatched five million deliveries within the Czech Republic last year, up 25 percent year-on-year. Sales rose by one-third thanks to a growth in the number of more expensive deliveries abroad, the company said in a press release. Sales from international deliveries more than doubled against 2004.

The growth was due to an increase in exports after the Czech Republic joined the EU in 2004, said Daniel Mares, chief executive of DPD’s Czech branch.

Posted by | Apr 10, 2006 | |

TNT Express today announced that it has launched a new air route between its European air hub in Liège, Belgium, and Brno airport in the Czech Republic.
