D<\/strong>HL Express has inaugurated a EUR 218 mn expansion of its MENA hub and main office <\/strong>at Bahrain International Airport<\/strong> (BIA)<\/strong>, BNA<\/a> reported on Monday. The new 54k square meter expansion can accommodate 12 DHL aircraft and process over 2 mn shipments annually.<\/p>\n

A big boost for MENA operations: <\/strong>Prior to the expansion, DHL Express operated a total area of 57k sqm<\/a> at BIA and accounted for 56% of the airport\u2019s freight operations. The logistics company inked an MoU with Bahrain in 2019 to extend its lease on the facility at BIA for another 10 years. <\/p>\n

The company already has a firm <\/strong>presence in MENA<\/strong>:<\/strong> DHL Express MENA<\/a> has been operating in Bahrain since 1976 and currently has activities in 19 countries across the MENA region. In 2019, DHL Express opened a USD 5.5 mn<\/a> facility in the Logistics District at the Dubai World Trade Center to support e-commerce growth in the region. DHL Express also launched the Mobile Middle East and Africa (MEA)<\/a> Innovation Center in Dubai in 2021, a first-of-its-kind 450 square meter facility to support the development of logistics innovation in the Middle East. <\/p>\n

Recent expansions:<\/strong> DHL Express recently inaugurated a EUR 48.3 mn<\/a> Airport Gateway and Services Center at Abu Dhabi to serve as the primary warehouse for DHL\u2019s Middle East Road Network, facilitating bonded cross-dock truck operations that connect UAE with the GCC and the Levant. The logistics company has also expressed interest in expanding its operations in Egypt<\/a> to form a logistics hub for the African continent. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
