DHL Express, CVG profiled in Business Excellence

An article in Business Excellence Magazine follows DHL through the decade that's passed since its purchase by Deutsche Post in 2002. And since international flights make up the backbone of DHL's flexible, global logistics service, a huge element of its success is a good relationship with its hub airports:  "Candace McGraw is CEO of Kenton County Airport Board at Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG), and has witnessed the many benefits that the airport's partnership with DHL has brought.
