LS Airport Services, a provider of cargo market services in Poland, and representatives of DHL Express officially opened the DHL Express international air courier terminal in Warsaw yesterday. The facility is one of the most modern operational units among airports in Poland.
The international air courier terminal is located at 37 Wirażowa St. within the LS CARGO PARK, owned by LS Airport Services S.A., situated in the immediate vicinity of the Fryderyk Chopin International Airport. The total area of the facility is nearly 7,000 square meters, and the total value of the entire project is estimated at nearly 97 million PLN.
The new complex combines the functions of a logistics and operational center with office space intended for the DHL Express headquarters. The terminal was built by LS Airport Services according to precise DHL criteria, taking into account high standards, meeting ecological requirements, and equipped with state-of-the-art technologies supporting logistics processes. This facility simultaneously serves as a service center and a sorting hub for international air shipments, handling approximately 40% of the country’s volume. The use of modern technological solutions, allowing for a target sorting capacity of up to 6,000 shipments per hour, ensures the highest quality of service during so-called peak parcel periods. The facility is equipped with a total of 78 gates dedicated to operational and transport processes. Together with office staff and couriers, the terminal provides a workplace for approximately 400 people on a shift system.
– The entire mechanical process taking place at the capital’s terminal is overseen by only 40 people. That is 10% of all people working in the facility – says Agnieszka Błaś, Operations Director and Member of the Board at DHL Express.
