DHL Express: new gateway facility in Helsinki
DHL Express Finland is building a logistics centre to serve international air express transports at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. DHL Express’ total investment in new premises and technology in the Aviapolis area is around EUR 100 million for the entire lease period.
Once operational, the airside access will allow DHL aircraft parked on the apron to be reached directly from the new building. All incoming and outgoing Express shipments in Finland will be handled in the logistics centre, which is scheduled to be completed in H2/2025.
The new facility comes in response to growing DHL Express shipment volumes in Finland, powered in the past few years by international e-commerce and a remarkable growth in demand in all customer segments.
Initially, some 150 people will be employed at the new gateway, with several dozens more expected to join them in the future. (cj)
