DHL Express Germany has started construction of a new 11,000 sq m facility at Munich Airport as it looks to meet growing demand in the region.
The EUR104 million (US$106 million) facility will be almost seven times larger than the warehouse DHL Express currently rents at Munich Airport's cargo centre.
It will have airside access that will allow aircraft parked on the apron to be reached directly from the new building and will have two pick-up and delivery 'fingers' that are able to handle 65 delivery vehicles at the same time.
DHL Express will build and operate the new site on land leased from the airport operator Flughafen Munchen.
Markus Reckling, managing director DHL Express Germany, said: 'Our old processing area can't keep pace with the growth in import and export volumes given current digitalisation and globalisation trends.
'The new gateway facility at Munich Airport not only represents the next important step in our infrastructure plan but also enables us to prioritize our customers by offering them an improved service.'
