“This route is a direct response to how trade flows in Asia are shifting,” said Peter Bardens, Senior Vice President for Network Operations & Aviation – Asia Pacific, DHL Express. Bangkok serves as a strategic gateway to the Indochina region, while Bahrain and Brussels are key DHL Express hubs. Last month, DHL Express also expanded its Shenzhen gateway, located at Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport. As both intra-Asia and global trade flows continue to show resilience, DHL remains focused on investing in its dedicated air network. These expansions seek to better connect businesses to global markets as well as build more agile supply chains.
