DHL Express has completed a $204 million expansion of its Shenzhen Bao'an International Airport gateway, tripling shipping capacity to 992 tons per day. The project is the company's largest investment in mainland China to date, with annual throughput expected to exceed 286,000 tons, about 10 times the volume handled by the previous gateway. DHL has also introduced a new dedicated air route using a widebody Boeing 767 cargo jet linking Shanghai, Bangkok, Bahrain, and Brussels to meet demand between China and key markets in Asia, the Middle East, and Europe. The expansion supports target sectors including AI data centers, semiconductors, technology, life sciences, healthcare, and next-generation energy, and aligns with the company's Heavyweight Express offering for larger shipments.
