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.

Intermodal Transport - Powerful Freight Villages

Customized commercial properties, a perfectly linked infrastructure, and the availability of 24/7 operations are provided by Saxony‘s three Freight Villages (GVZ) at five locations. 

The GVZ Leipzig is integrated into the trimodal network. Saxony’s largest industrial and distribution park directly adjoins Leipzig / Halle Airport, is linked to the federal expressways A9 Berlin-Munich and A14 Dresden-Magdeburg, and has its own rail access including a container depot and a terminal for combined transport. 

The GVZ Dresden is characterized by its direct access to the federal expressways A4, A13, A17 as well as to the rail network and the waterways network of the Elbe River. Goods are loaded and unloaded between road and rail at a transshipment station. 

Unlike many other Freight Villages in Germany, the GVZ Südwestsachsen has a decentralized structure. It consists of the core module Glauchau – in the vicinity of Volkswagen Sachsen GmbH’s vehicle production plant – as well as the modules Chemnitz and Zwickau. All locations provide optimal access to rail and road routes.
