DHL Express and Munich Airport reach deal for new freight building

DHL Express Germany and Airport Munich GmbH have drawn up a contract for a new freight building.

The 8,000 square metre site, on land leased from FMG, will have direct airside access and two “PuD fingers”, which refers not to digits covered in dessert but to two lengths of building with bays for pick-up and delivery, allowing access to up to 65 delivery vehicles simultaneously.

“After we had modernised and expanded our service center in Unterschleißheim for 13 million euros last year, the new gateway is our next step in realising our infrastructure plan,” said Markus Reckling, Managing Director of DHL Express Germany.

“This is a clear commitment to our presence in the Munich region. Even in economically difficult times we invest thoroughly in our customer service as one of our main priorities.”

According to DHL, this is the first time contracts have been signed digitally, due to the coronavirus pandemic restrictions.
