DHL is establishing two new direct links from France and Germany to its main express hub in North America
The new next-day transatlantic routes from Paris and Frankfurt to Cincinnati are timed to feed directly into DHL's North American overnight Express network, and will enable customers in Germany and France and some neighbouring countries to send next-day delivery shipments to the US, Canada and Mexico
According to John Pearson, CEO for DHL Express Europe, there is continuously high demand for transatlantic express services, with Canada, the US and Mexico remaining very important trade partners for the European markets
The new direct dedicated flights between Paris and Frankfurt and DHL's Cincinnati hub provides customers with assured overnight delivery capacity to the US
To meet the high demand for fast-to-market air transport, DHL has enhanced its routes from Europe to North America in the past year by investing in a fleet of new Boeing 767F aircraft and establishing connections from Leipzig and East Midlands to Cincinnati and New York
