Munich: new +8,000 sqm cargo facility
Munich airport and DHL Express Germany have concluded an agreement for the construction of a new cargo building which will be built on the site currently occupied by the car parks P 80 and P 80 West.
DHL Express will plan, build, and operate the EUR 70 million investment on ground leased from the airport operator. Currently, the company rents space in the airport's existing cargo centre.
The start of operations at its own location, which will be six times bigger (8,000 sqm), is scheduled for 2022. In recent years, DHL Express has seen a substantial increase in import and export volumes at its Munich gateway. Airport CEO Jost Lammers: "Particularly in these very difficult times for the aviation industry, this sends an important signal and is a strong display of confidence in the Munich location." (ah)
