DHL to add operations at Stewart Airport

The parcel giant signed a 10-year lease with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for a 20,625-square-foot building adjacent to FedEx and UPS facilities at Stewart International Airport.    DHL has signed a 10-year lease with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey for a 20,625-square-foot building adjacent to FedEx and UPS facilities at Stewart International Airport, according to a report in Middletown, N.Y.’s Times Herald-Record.
   The company will invest $400,000 in the facility and employ about 30 persons, beginning early next year.
   Robert Mintz, a DHL spokesman, told the newspaper that new facility is part of a plan to strengthen the company’s overall U.S. network and that it is “integrated with our JFK gateway facility where shipments are cleared by customs and reviewed by other regulatory agencies.”
   Mintz said the Stewart facility will help DHL provide earlier deliveries and later cutoff times for shipments.
   Stewart is located about 60 miles north of New York City and was taken over by the Port Authority in 2007.
