DHL Hub Leipzig - Europe's most modern air cargo center
At Leipzig / Halle Airport, DHL operates its European air cargo center – the DHL Hub Leipzig. It is able to handle cargo planes around the clock, 365 days a year – the best possible prerequisite to manage the constantly increasing cargo volume. More than 3,500 employees on site handle an average of 1,600 tons of cargo every day. And up to 60 planes are loaded and unloaded every work day. The volume has increased nearly fivefold since the air cargo hub was put into operation in 2008. In addition to Cincinnati (USA) and Hong Kong (China), Leipzig is DHL’s third global hub. Leipzig / Halle Airport is Germany’s second largest and Europe’s fifth largest cargo airport.
The AeroLogic GmbH has become one of the top 5 providers in Europe since it commenced with its flight operation in 2009.

With one of the world’s largest intercontinental cargo aircraft fleets, the cargo airline serves more than 50 routes per week to 20 destinations in Asia, Europe, and North America from its home base Leipzig / Halle. Currently, the company employs approximately 230 people.
