DHL Express opens newly expanded global hub in Hong Kong
The total investment for the Central Asia Hub (CAH) has reached €562 million since its establishment in 2004. CAH is located within a four-hour flight time to major cities in Asia Pacific and the Pan-Pearl River Delta region, making its location in the city significant.
With direct access to airside and landside, CAH is currently the only dedicated and purpose-built air express cargo facility in the Hong Kong International Airport. With a 50% increase in total warehouse space to 49,500 sq.m. and an automated material handling system, the hub's peak handling capacity has increased by almost 70% to 125,000 shipments per hour.

The strategic location of the Hub in Hong Kong opens doors to many opportunities for our customers in this region. We are confident that the expanded CAH will foster interconnectivity and underpin Asia's status as a powerhouse of global growth: Ken Lee, DHL Express
The hub is also the first facility in Hong Kong's express cargo industry to deploy CT scan technology. These X-ray scanners double the inspection speed, enabling the hub to detect suspicious goods promptly and accurately.
