DHL to recruit 900 for expanded Americas hub at Cincinnati airport

AS part of DHL Express' latest US$108 million expansion of its Americas hub based at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport (CVG) in the US, the company plans to employ 900 staff.

The expansion to a new day sort operation and anticipated growth in shipment volumes is expected to raise the number of staff employed at the hub to 3,300 employees.



DHL is also expanding its base at the airport with a new north ramp on 45 acres of land with parking space for 16 additional planes, bringing the hub's total capacity to 65 aircraft gate. It is also adding storage and warehouse space for ramp equipment and shipping containers, reported London's Air Cargo News.



Additional automated sorting capability and 40 new reload positions will allow it to handle an expected surge in shipment volume in the US and the Americas.



The express delivery giant has invested $280 million in its Americas hub at the airport since 2009. The company uses the hub to handle North and South American and Caribbean cargo.
