Holiday Season Icoming
DHL Express is ramping up its transportation and shipment handling capacity with a significant investment exceeding EUR 100 million, preparing for the anticipated surge in demand during the peak season of the fourth quarter of 2024. This investment is part of the company’s broader strategy to support its customers’ growth and ensure efficient delivery during the busiest time of the year.
8 new Boeing 777
As part of this initiative, DHL Express will begin deploying eight new Boeing 777 freighters, enhancing its airfreight capabilities on key trans-Pacific and intercontinental routes. These new aircraft are integral to DHL’s ongoing transition to lower-emission transportation, providing more fuel-efficient options for global shipping.
e-commerce
Worldwide e-commerce, expected to grow by 8.8% in 2024, continues to be a major driver of volume increases, particularly during peak seasons. In addition, the gradual recovery of B2B shipment volumes further supports DHL’s expansion efforts.
Key Aviation Facilities
In addition to expanding its airfreight capacity, DHL has also invested in enhancing its ground network’s handling and sorting capabilities. Upgrades have been made at key aviation facilities, including those in Copenhagen, Cologne, Paris, Atlanta, Brussels, and East Midlands (UK), to support flexible flying schedules and ensure reliable service even in the face of high demand or potential supply chain disruptions.
