DHL Express to open new Singapore facility to support Hong Kong hub
DHL Express will open a new fully automated facility in Singapore with an investment of EUR85 million (US$96 million) in the first quarter to complement its Central Asia hub in Hong Kong.
"We rely heavily on Europe and US. But Asia has been growing continuously. And so within the first quarter we will be opening our new facility in Singapore," said DHL Central Asia Hub manager Tony Khan.
"That will provide the Central Asia Hub more support to expand its volume. We are really growing here so I need relief to bypass some of the cargo," he said.
DHL faces three hurdles, parking, land and employment," said Mr Khan.
"We operate 17 dedicated aircraft every night. The challenge comes when we want to bring in additional flights," he said.
"Maybe the parking slots are available but not in the timings that we want. It is a challenge faced by us but that will be addressed with the third runway. I am really looking forward to that.
"The airport authority has developed 28 parking slots in the West Apron expansion so hopefully some of the airlines will get diverted there providing us more parking slots. "But I need parking slots here in the cargo area, if you give me further that will affect my productivity and connectivity," he said.
