DHL Express to expand retail network in Malaysia

Posted by | Mar 20, 2007 | |

DHL Express (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd is looking to expand its retail network in Penang, Johor Baharu and Kuala Lumpur this year to meet rising demand.

The company currently has three retail outlets in the Klang Valley, country manager for Malaysia and Brunei, Sam Leong, told reporters after the launch of the new DHL service centre in Glenmarie here today.

The RM21 million centre was officially opened by International Trade and Industry Minister Datuk Seri Rafidah Aziz.”We are looking into the possibility of further expanding our retail network based on market demand,” Leong said.

The company was currently carrying out research to identify the best locations for the new retail outlets based on customers’ requirements, he said.

The new service centre is a 60,000-square foot facility which houses 7,000 square feet of office space and features a fully automated material handling system, ball decks to handle containers, spot cooling in the warehouse, two-tier conveyer with sort systems and capacity for 90 employees to service 40 routes throughout the area.

Leong said the centre would also link directly with DHL’s gateway operations at Subang Airport.

The link would allow DHL to minimise transit times between the gateway and service centre to improve delivery times for its Klang Valley customers by half a day, he said.

SAT Airlines starts Seoul flight under contract with DHL

Posted by | Mar 20, 2007 | |

SAT Airlines has started to carry out cargo charter flights from Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk to Seoul under a contract with DHL Express, SAT Airlines Commercial Director Sergei Burdinsky told Interfax.

“A contract to charter our An-24 liner was signed with DHL Express in February 2007 for one year. In the future, if neither of the sides object, the contract will be extended. The plane will fly to Incheon airport three times a week: on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday to South Korea and on Monday, Wednesday and Friday – back to Sakhalin,” he said.

A trial flight took place on March 7 and this week the plan started flying on schedule.

Burdinsky said that a SAT Airlines An-12 has been carrying out charter flights to Seoul for three years already, under a contract with Panalpina as part of the Sakhalin-2 project.

A source in the DHL Express office in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk told Interfax that the flight to Seoul on the An-24 is the first DHL Express charter flight in the Russian Far East. “We chartered the SAT Airlines liner together with Sakhalin Energy, but freight will be transported to Seoul not only for the Sakhalin-2 project, but for other offshore projects also, and for any other clients,” the source said.
