敦豪速递大动作！携手两家航空公司，重金加码投资东南亚网络！

敦豪全球速递（下称DHL Express）表示，在过去的一年中，由于该地区货运量的显著增加，该公司在亚太地区大幅加强了其航空网络和地面设施的建设。

对比2023年和2024年前三个季度的数据，DHL Express指出，今年亚太地区与世界其他地区之间的货运量增加了约6%，这进一步证明了亚太地区在全球贸易中的重要性正在不断提升。

DHL Express强调，通过扩大区域连通性和提升效率，公司能够满足因供应链多样化和地理优势所带来的“新的贸易增长极”。

DHL快递亚太区首席执行官Ken Lee表示：“在全球供应链多元化、结构性顺风以及电子商务的推动下，亚太市场正经历显著的增长。”

他补充道：“得益于我们的前瞻性规划，我们能够及时且战略性地在整个地区进行改进，以应对需求的变化。这些改进也使我们能够在消费者电子商务流量激增的传统旺季为客户提供更好的支持。”

东南亚在全球贸易中的崛起

DHL Express表示，东南亚已成为全球贸易中的一颗“新星”，拥有年轻而熟练的劳动力、多项贸易协议以及对创新的重视，这使得该地区极具吸引力，成为希望实现供应链多元化的国际贸易商增长最快的目的地之一。

在过去的一年里，DHL Express扩建了该地区的几个关键设施，以跟上贸易增长的步伐。例如，它升级了位于新加坡樟宜机场的南亚枢纽，以适应2021年和2022年超过20%的预期销量增长。此外，该枢纽还配备了五架由新加坡航空公司运营的波音777货机，这些飞机属于DHL所有。

2024年10月，DHL Express在吉隆坡推出了一个先进的口岸设施，旨在提高马来西亚作为主要采购目的地的地位，特别是在电气和电子制造业方面，投资额约为6000万欧元。

DHL快递亚太区网络运营与航空高级副总裁Peter Bardens表示，公司采取积极主动的方法，不断调整其网络并提高服务质量。除了增加航空货运能力外，DHL Express在过去12个月内还在阿德莱德和纽卡斯尔启用了两个新的地面操作中心。

最近，公司在阿德莱德开设了一个新的口岸，并将其重新定位在机场附近，巩固了其在澳大利亚的地位。扩建后的设施峰值处理能力增加了四倍，并将运往亚太、欧洲和英国的出境货物的运输时间缩短了一天。

此外，DHL Express还在纽卡斯尔建立了一个价值数百万美元的新服务中心，比之前的设施大10倍多。公司还计划在新西兰克赖斯特彻奇开设一个新的口岸，以进一步扩大其在该国的业务覆盖范围。

为了加快北亚、东亚和南亚之间的贸易往来，DHL Express表示已启用香港西区服务中心，以进一步加强特别行政区的连通性。随着香港准备满足不断增长的贸易需求，这座城市已成为中国大陆与世界其他地区之间的重要门户。这座新设施每天可处理50000多件货物，并获得了LEED金级认证，这是一项全球公认的绿色建筑认证计划。

2024年第一季度，DHL Express还加强了与日本航空公司的合作，扩展了连接日本、首尔、上海和台北的更广泛航空网络。

DHL Express said it has bolstered its aviation network and ground facilities with significant enhancements across Asia Pacific in the past year as it noted increased shipment volumes from the region.

Comparing the first three quarters of 2023 and 2024, DHL Express noted that it moved around 6% more shipments between Asia Pacific and the rest of the world this year, proving that Asia Pacific will continue to play a bigger vital role in global trade.

DHL Express noted that amplifying its regional connectivity and efficiency enables it to cater to "new poles of trade growth" emerging across the Asia Pacific driven by supply chain diversification and geographic tailwinds.

"Asia Pacific markets are facing significant growth boosted by diversification of global supply chains, structural tailwinds and e-commerce," said Ken Lee, CEO for Asia Pacific, DHL Express.

"Thanks to our forward planning, we are well-positioned to respond to these shifts in demand with the timely and strategic enhancements we have made across the region. These enhancements also put us in an excellent position to support our customers during the traditional peak season where consumer e-commerce traffic will spike," he added.

Southeast Asia rising star in global trade

DHL Express said Southeast Asia is a "rising star" in global trade with its young and skilled workforce, several trade agreements, and focus on innovation — making the region attractive and one of the fastest-growing destinations for international traders looking to diversify their supply chains.

In the past year, DHL Express has expanded several key facilities in the region to keep pace with increased trade.

It upgraded the South Asia Hub, located by Changi Airport, Singapore, to accommodate anticipated volume growth, which stood at more than 20% in 2021 and 2022. 

DHL Express South Asia hub is also home to five DHL-owned Boeing 777 freighters operated by Singapore Airlines under a crew and management deal. 

In October 2024, DHL Express launched an advanced gateway in Kuala Lumpur to enhance Malaysia's status as a key sourcing destination, especially for the electrical and electronics manufacturing sector with an investment of around EUR60 million.

Peter Bardens, senior vice president for Network Operations & Aviation – Asia Pacific, DHL Express, said the company take a proactive approach to continuously adapt its network and enhance its service quality.

Besides additional air cargo capacity, DHL Express has also commissioned two ground facilities in Adelaide and Newcastle in the last 12 months.

The company cemented its presence in Australia with a recently opened gateway in Adelaide, re-located nearer to the airport.

It said that the enlarged facility's peak facility handling capacity has increased fourfold and it improves transit times for outbound shipments to Asia Pacific, Europe and the UK by a day.

DHL Express has also established a new multi-million dollar service center in Newcastle that is more than 10 times larger than the previous site.

The company noted that additionally, it will also open a new gateway in Christchurch, New Zealand, as it further extends its footprint in the country. 

Scaling network capacity in North, East and South Asia to accelerate trade.

Meanwhile, DHL Express said it has inaugurated its Hong Kong West Service Center to further enhance the special administrative region's connectivity as the city gears up to meet growing trade demand. The company cited the city as a "crucial gateway" for trade between  China and the rest of the world.

The facility can handle over 50,000 shipments a day and has earned the LEED gold status – a globally recognized green building certification program. 

In the first quarter of 2024, DHL Express and Japan Airlines also strengthened their partnership with a wider air network connecting Japan, Seoul, Shanghai, and Taipei.
