DHL Express Announces $192M Investment in Maintenance Hangar at CVG Superhub
DHL Express is set to invest $192 million in constructing an aircraft maintenance facility at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), the location of its primary U.S. air hub. The facility will span 305,000 square feet and feature aircraft parts storage, maintenance parking gates, and eight new aircraft gates. It will house two Boeing 777 wide-body freighters side by side and is expected to be completed by the end of 2025. CVG serves as a crucial connecting point for DHL's express network, handling 130 daily flights and processing around 50 million international shipments each year.
Despite the temporary downturn in the air express market, DHL continues to expand and modernize its fleet, and this new investment demonstrates its commitment to meeting growing customer demands. Additionally, DHL's in-house airline, European Air Transport Leipzig GmbH, has transferred two Boeing 757 cargo jets to its partner airline, DHL Aero Expreso, in Panama, further bolstering DHL's network in Central America and the Caribbean.
