EUR 33 million freight terminal at Bologna airport
DHL Express Italy has inaugurated a new gateway at Bologna airport. Among the dignitaries present at the ceremony were regional and municipal councillors for mobility as well as Romano Prodi (2nd from right), former prime minister and president of the European commission.
Die EUR 33 million facility is to serve international air traffic to and from the economically strong Emilia-Romagna region as well as last-mile deliveries in the Bologna metropolitan area and its province. Thanks to a latest-generation sorter, the gateway can handle 17,000 consignments per hour.
