Scheduled to open this autumn, the head office will cover 1,000 square metres and is centrally positioned on Airport Road opposite the Etisalat tower. It will provide Abu Dhabi customers with a dedicated customer service team and a convenient drop off and pick up point.

“Over the last year and a half we have experienced growth of over 118percent in the weight of outbound traffic from Abu Dhabi. In addition shipments over this period have grown by 37percent,” said David Wild, General Manager, DHL UAE. “Much of this demand has come from major corporate customers who have looked to us to fulfil their supply chain logistics challenges.

The two new road express routes have been launched following successful trials which have seen demand for Yemen emanating from the oil and gas sector while that for Istanbul has come from cross-sector companies.

“These two new routes, which are additional direct trucking solutions under our Gulfwide Distribution Service, provide a fully integrated network, customs clearance, check-point management, track-and-trace facilities and committed transit times,” explained Stephen Stanton, Middle East Road Network Manager, DHL. “It is a highly cost-effective alternative to air freight, particularly for the emerging heavy-weight consignments sector with less urgent transit time requirements.”
