The new facility combines a state-of-the-art airside operation with the hub and transit point.

The Hub services all of DHL's road activity from the GCC through to the Levant, North Africa, and Europe.

Visible on landing at Amman Airport, the DHL Hub is spread across 4,000 sq metres, with dedicated DHL staff operating the facility.

The Hub already handles 740,000 kilos every month, and has the capacity to double this within 18 months.

Operating 24-hours a day, 7-days a week, every day of the year, the Hub is improving speed of delivery of inbound shipments into the country, plus provides added security and safety of all goods transiting through Jordan to other destinations.

"With the economies of the Middle East continuing to grow, this region remains a key focus for DHL. With the completion of the Jordan Hub we are adding strength to our regional infrastructure. This will benefit customers in the GCC, Levant and Europe who are sending shipments by road as well as those customers importing and exporting to and from Jordan."
said Paul Bicknell, DHL Middle East Facilities Engineer.

"The $3.7m investment underlines our commitment to the Middle East and strengthening our global network. At DHL, we are continually striving to boost our customer service through speed, accuracy and reliability. The robust operational procedures in place at the Jordan Hub will enable us to continue to improve this."
