DHL expands global network and operations with new state-of-the-art European air hub

Posted by | May 26, 2008 | |

DHL has officially opened its new European air freight hub at Leipzig/Halle Airport in Germany. The hub, one of Europe’s largest construction sites, expands DHL’s international network, providing greater connectivity to global growth markets and enabling DHL to improve its overall customer service.

Approximately 300 million Euros has been invested by Deutsche Post World Net in the construction of the DHL air freight hub Leipzig/Halle which enhances DHL’s speed, connectivity and reach in a number of ways. It is situated at a crossroads to provide direct North-South and East-West access to Europe, and connects both established and emerging markets in Central and Eastern Europe and Asia.

The decisive criteria for the choice of location were the position of the airport, its proximity to growth markets in Eastern Europe, the long-term planning security with comprehensive authorization for night-time flights, the wealth of motivated and highly qualified locally-based personnel, and impressive infrastructure which allows for a future-oriented combination of the carriers air, road and rail.

The hub comprises of a distribution center, an aircraft hangar, apron, tank station and administration building. The amount of freight transshipped every working day is currently around 1,500 tons per night but by 2012 this figure is set to rise to 2,000 tons.

Leipzig is the first DHL facility able to meet its needs for electricity, heating and cooling energy, to a large extent self-sufficiently. This is ensured by a cogeneration unit for combined heat and power generation, together with 1,000 square meters of solar cells on the roof of the hangar workshop for the generation of electricity from solar energy. In addition, two underground cisterns, with a capacity of 300 cubic meters each collecting around 3,000 cubic meters of rain water each year, will be used instead of drinking water to wash the aircraft.
