DHL AIRWAYS ANNOUNCES RELOCATION OF CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS TO MIAMI, FLORIDA
For Immediate Release
Miami, Florida - April 29, 2003 — DHL Airways, Inc., a leading U.S.
provider of air cargo services, today announced the relocation of its corporate
headquarters to Miami, Florida from Chicago, Illinois. Effective May 15, 2003,
the company will assume corporate operations at One Biscayne Tower in downtown
Miami.
"Chicago is truly a city that works and it has afforded DHL Airways a great
business climate to grow and prosper in," said Chairman and Chief Executive
Officer John H. Dasburg. "However, we have restructured the management team for
DHL Airways and given the geographic locations of several of our members, it just
makes good sense to relocate our headquarters location."
"Florida's unparalleled support for growing businesses, as well as the economic
and geographic benefits offered by the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County, made
the choice to move our operations clear and simple," said Dasburg. "Governor
Bush, Mayor Alex Pinelas and Mayor Manny Diaz deserve a great deal of credit for
making Florida and Miami an attractive place to do business."
"We're excited to have DHL Airways as the newest corporate resident of Florida,"
said Governor Bush. "Their decision to move is evidence of an extremely
supportive business community in South Florida, a resilient economy, and a state
that values innovation, corporate excellence and entrepreneurial spirit."
Dasburg noted that the state's low cost of living, highly educated workforce, and
vibrant, multi-cultural business community were key factors for DHL Airways. "The
move to Miami is good not only for our business, it is good for our employees and
their families," said Dasburg.
DHL Airways has over 1,000 employees nationwide. Twenty-two corporate executives
and staff will operate out of the company's new Miami location and additional
hiring is anticipated in the next several months. The company will continue to
direct its flight operations out of its hub airport, the Cincinnati/Northern
Kentucky International Airport. All of the Company's Chicago-based employees will
be offered opportunities to continue their careers with the airline at another
DHL Airways location.
The new contact information for the DHL Airways headquarters, effective May 15,
2003, will be:
DHL Airways, Inc.
Two South Biscayne Boulevard
Suite 3663
Miami, Florida 33131
Phone and Facsimile numbers are pending.
