DHL to return to N. Ky.

DHL Express has decided to move its U.S. hub operations for its international business to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) in Kentucky.
The move is expected to be completed by mid- to late summer, according to a well-placed source who wished to remain anonymous late Thursday night. The announcement was made to DHL employees at the DHL Air Park Thursday night.
No announcement was made at the same time about which airline DHL will utilize as its air carrier at CVG, the source said.
People who will work as sorters at the CVG facility will be employed by DHL, said the source.
In late March, the Business Courier of Cincinnati reported the State of Kentucky had offered DHL nearly $2 million in tax incentives to relocate the company’s remaining operations out of Wilmington to CVG.
According to a project report released by the Kentucky Economic Development’s Finance Authority Board, relocation of DHL’s U.S.-based international express business would generate 187 full-time jobs and 646 part-time jobs, for a total of 833 positions in Kentucky.
Before DHL consolidated its primary U.S. hub operations at the expanded and upgraded Wilmington Air Park in fall 2005, it utilized CVG as its main sorting hub.
