DHL to Open Air Sorting Facility for NW Arkansas

DHL will open its air sorting facility at the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport at Highfill on April 14 with daily air express services to and from the region.

The new service speeds inbound shipments and accelerates delivery services by offering daily air express services to and from the region.

DHL is the only express carrier to fly directly to the Northwest Arkansas Regional Airport. Establishing a facility at the airport will speed express services for Fortune 500 companies, such as Wal-Mart and other retailers, consumer products, manufacturing, and business service companies.

Previously, shipments to and from northwest Arkansas were trucked to Tulsa. With the new facility businesses in the region will have immediate access to DHL's air network.

DHL's customized air sorting facility was built to handle large shipment volumes and twice daily air service between XNA and DHL's air and ground hub at Wilmington, Ohio.
