DHL Express builds new hub at Copenhagen airport
DHL Express will make its largest ever investment in Denmark and the Nordic countries by building a new hub at Copenhagen airport. The 26'172 sqm platform, which includes offices and new automated systems, will be able to handle nearly 37'000 packages per hour, 24 hours a day.
Packages to/from Denmark usually travel via the DHL hubs in Leipzig (Germany), or East Midlands (UK). However, once the hub at Copenhagen airport is built, planes will reach their destinations more directly and without additional stops along the way. Fewer stops mean faster deliveries, a critical factor many companies and consumers today.
Copenhagen Airport Group CEO Thomas Woldbye said: “Airfreight is crucial for maintaining and developing Copenhagen airport as a key northern European hub. Expansion is a key target in our strategy, and we are grateful that DHL has chosen CPH for its new facility." (mw)
