The agreement with Tallinn Airport’s operator, Tallinna Lennujaam, will see DHL Express Estonia building a 7,260m2 complex with a fully automated sorting system in the southern part of the airport as part of the Airport City International Business Campus.
The new terminal will handle larger volumes and provide a faster service, with the fully automated technology helping DHL Express Estonia better manage its international network.
Kristina Laaneots, CEO of DHL Express Estonia, says, “DHL Express's current terminal is too cramped for us and no longer meets the needs and expectations for handling increased cargo volumes. The new cargo terminal at Tallinn Airport gives us the opportunity to introduce the most modern technology and provide our customers with an even better quality service.”
Building the logistics complex is one stage of developing the southern area of Tallinn Airport and the Airport City Business Campus, which aims to improve air cargo and aircraft maintenance infrastructure and increase non-aviation income.
Riivo Tuvike, Chairman of the Board of AS Tallinna Lennujaam, says, “We are glad that DHL Express Estonia's large logistics complex will be built on the south of the runway. Our long cooperation with DHL, and similar values, helped us reach an agreement in which we are creating something extraordinary in Estonia, and we are very happy about that.”
