DHL Virtual Cargo Airline Updates
DHLv’s strategy around hubs is to ensure we have one in a country or region of operations, these hubs are responsible for contract negotiations, tender applications, service review meetings, reciprocal arrangements with partner or other local freight operators, airlines and road transport companies and of course selling our services to businesses and individuals in their region.
With the above in mind the changes to our hubs that have already happened are:
1. African operations are now based from the new hub recently completed at OR Tambo International Airport ICAO: FAOR.
2. US Operations at Newark Liberty International have moved to the facility at JFK International Airport and the Newark facility downgraded to a maintenance centre.
3. Caribbean Operations are now based at Princess Juliana International (TNCM) and the St Kitts facility closed but overnight parking/maintenance is still available there.
4. The hub at Hong Kong Chep Lap Kok has been downgraded to a Continue reading
