Leipzig/Halle Airport went into operation back in 1927, and 81 years later DHL opened a hub here. With 1.4 million tons of air freight in 2020, Leipzig/Halle Airport is Germany's second-largest cargo airport. At the DHL hub, around 6,000 employees ensure that 150,000 shipments reach their destinations every hour. This report takes a look behind the scenes of the logistics hub, accompanies employees of Antonow Airlines and shows customs officers during checks.

    I am studying Master's in logistics and supply chain security at RTU, Latvia. This video is very helpful for me ❤

    I landed there multiple times deploying overseas. The staff and facilities were great.
  • We forget the small army of dedicated and passionate team behind all our deliveries that make it to our door step...bravo to them...✌️💯

    I lived close to this airport the last 16 years... There are many different logistics companies, the biggest is DHL Europe. Then there's Antonov Airlines (moved from Kiev), Amazon Air, Lufthansa Cargo and some others like Air Bridge Cargo (a russian company that's banned from Leipzig since the war in Ukraine had been started...)
  • I’ve never been to the airport but I have to say Leipzig is a wonderful city to visit. I did a trip to Leipzig and Dresden a few years ago and it was quite wonderful
  • The sector of aircraft has grown importantly last decades. The reason behind this growth are the creativity and the technology. This two fields are so important.
  • I am a cargo pilot and have flown many times into this airport for a previous employer. As others have commented on this video of the unfortunate demise of the AN 225 which I have been fortunate to be next to on the ramp many times and spoken with the crew but also of the casualty of all the AirBridgeCargo jets. AirBridge might have been Russian but they had one of the most modern freight fleets in existence

    I worked for DHL Express for many years and they have a impressive and very strict system. A DHL 24 hour WPX pack can be scanned in 5 different countries and scanned 20 times during that time, and you will still get the pack delivered to your door next day.
  • I work in international logistics for a company in France and I cannot stress how efficient DHL is in both cargo and small pack shipments. They are the gold standard in getting almost anything from incredible distances in the shortest amount of time. Their tracking system is exhaustive and very useful for anyone in my field. While they don't have as large of a footprint in the US and UPS and FedEx, they are my go-to when it comes to closing important business deals.

    It is a good documentary about Air freight Logistics. We know that logistics by air has become an almost essential part of foreign trade, both because of the high price of some goods and because of the quickness in delivery to clients. In the last years, the boom of e-commerce has increased the demand for air freight because consumers have become very exigent about delivery in time and safety and satisfying them has become a factor for companies' competitiveness. DHL is one of the leader in the logistics industry specializing in international air freight for products such as machine, cars and others.

    It's amazing to see how the sorting hub works overnight to ensure the timely delivery of goods. I had several times using DHL during my stay in Poland and saw the parcel was transported via Leipzig.

    I love the German way.. Ordnung muss sein. Everything works without problems.. And the Antonov 225 is fantastic. IT is a Long time since I was in Leipzig. At that time it belonged to DDR. It did not quite look like this at that time. Kindest regards Jesper of Denmark 🇩🇰🇩🇰😎
