DHL expands European parcel network in Cyprus
DHL eCommerce Solutions and ACS Air Courier Services, a parcel service based in Cyprus, have formed a new partnership to strengthen cross-border parcel shipping. The Cypriot parcel service company will become another partner in DHL’s Parcel Union, an international partnership programme that offers "Parcel Connect", a Europe-wide standardised service for parcel deliveries and returns.
Alkis Matsis, CEO of ACS Air Courier Services, says “We are very excited about our cooperation and becoming a member of the DHL European parcel network. Utilising our extensive presence throughout the island, including 40 Service Points and 70 delivery vehicles, the partnership gives us the opportunity to grow further in the European e-commerce delivery business for both imports and exports.”
The improved service offers will be introduced for import parcel deliveries to Cyprus (Parcel Connect Import) in the last quarter of 2019. As a next step, the services will also be implemented for outbound goods (Parcel Connect Export) at a later stage. (mw)
