Jun 05, 2020 (newstodate): Early this month, construction work will start on a new DHL Sorting Center at Riga Airport, Latvia.
-The startup date for the project has just been confirmed, and according to the plan the coming new complex will be commissioned in the first half of 2021, said Artis Deksenieks, DHL Express Sales and marketing director in Latvia, speaking at last week's webinar facilitated by Riga Airport.
-The new facility will cover 4,500 sq m including 2,500 sq m warehouse, which is twice the size of our existing facility in Riga.
-The airside building will have direct access to freighter aircraft parking stands saving time in cargo handling, and the warehouse will be equipped with an automated sorting system securing fast processing of shipments.
-Once the new sorting center becomes operational, customers will benefit from early pickup times for imports and late delivery times for exports, which will greatly enhance our services, said Mr Deksenieks.
On November 6, 2019, Riga Airport, DHL Latvia and real estate developer Castor Construction signed an agreement on DHL's lease of the coming new complex for a period of 10 years, with an option for a further 15-20 years extension.
In 2019 on-line at Riga airport for 25 years, DHL is invariably among the airport's Top-3 generators of cargo with flight operations by EAT as well as own freighters
