DHL has decided to transfer two of its main aviation services centres from Africa and Europe to Bahrain. Operations of its Harare and Brussels centres would be merged and shifted to Bahrain to serve the Middle East, North Africa and Eastern Europe segments.

Bahrain is a major hub for DHL’s Middle East operations with its regional distribution centre based at the Bahrain International airport. With a fl eet of 17 aircraft and 250 vehicles it operates an integrated air and land network catering to the Middle East and Arab worlds.

DHL began its Bahrain operations way back in 1974 with postal parcel services and currently has over 550 employees here to cater to the region’s DHL Express customers.
