DHL entry for Malaysian Transmile?

Posted by | Jun 12, 2006 | |

Transmile Group Bhd recently lost a bid to renew a contract with its biggest shareholder, Pos Malaysia Bhd, fuelling speculation that the postal operator wants to sell its shares in the air-cargo company. Pos Malaysia, which holds a 17.29 per cent stake in Transmile, had awarded its business to lesser-known Gading Sari Aviation Services Sdn Bhd. According to sources, Transmile had been carrying cargo for Pos Malaysia since 1993, but the contract, equivalent to about 4-5 per cent of Transmile’s total revenue, expired in December last year. “The contract was then extended for three months until March 2006, before Pos Malaysia decided not to renew Transmile’s contract after conducting a review of its existing suppliers,” a source told Business Times. This could mean that courier firm DHL could enter and buy a strategic stake in Transmile, the source said. DHL is currently one of Transmile’s biggest customers.

French La Poste decision reversed

Posted by | Jun 8, 2006 | |

European Union regulators were wrong to allow the French state-run postal service to help a unit expand into express delivery in the 1980s and ’90s, an EU court ruled Wednesday in a case brought by FedEx and DHL International. The regulators’ conclusion in 1997 that France did not provide illegal subsidies by allowing La Poste to grant logistical support to its Chronopost subsidiary was unjustified, the European Court of First Instance in Luxembourg ruled. Industry groups have complained that former monopolies like La Poste have used government aid, which is intended to support nationwide letter delivery, to buy competitors in the express business. The case at the Court of First Instance, the second-highest European court after the European Court of Justice, was brought by express mail carriers FedEx, DHL and Crie, as well as industry group Union Francaise de L’Express.
