DHL WORLDWIDE EXPRESS RESUMES CINCINNATI HUB CONSTRUCTION

DHL WORLDWIDE EXPRESS RESUMES CINCINNATI HUB CONSTRUCTION    DHL Worldwide Express said it has resumed construction on the $200-million expansion of its new hub in Cincinnati.
   Work was halted on the project in May 2001, due to the economic downturn, said Steven White, vice president of hub and gateway operations. The project, which is about half done, is scheduled for completion in July 2003.
   The expansion will double current package handling capacity to about 2.5 million pounds per night. DHL, which has operated out of the Greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport since 1983, said the hub will continue to be the center of DHL’s overnight package sorting operations for domestic and international shipments.
   Deutsche Post World Net owns a majority of DHL Worldwide Express, which is based in San Francisco. Other shareholders include Lufthansa and Japan Airlines.
