DHL Express has opened its C$100m facility at Hamilton airport, quadrupling capacity at the airport in Ontario.
The facility at John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport covers 238,000 square feet and can process 28,000 packages per hour.
Flights can operate 24 hours a day at Hamilton airport with Canada Border Services Agency staff on site, which DHL says influenced its decision to expand in Hamilton.
Hamilton is DHL Express’ largest gateway in Canada measured by volume and has two daily flights to Cincinnati providing international connections.
Fred Eisenberger, Mayor of Hamilton says: “The facility represents a significant investment by DHL Express in the City of Hamilton and demonstrates the importance of the international airport to create high-value jobs and economic prosperity for our city.”
