OREANDA-NEWS. DHL has celebrated the perfect delivery in June.

"Over the last few years, DHL Express has made a number of investments in our global network to consistently improve our service quality," said Ken Allen, CEO, DHL Express. "In March this year, we registered the highest on-time delivery performance on record in every region. At the same time, however, we had no idea that this would be followed by an even more significant company landmark in June - the culmination of the perfect delivery. And this was despite the fact that we picked up the cargo more than two years ago, in February 2014."

"When we undertook the pick-up and loaded the cargo onto a Boeing 767 freighter at Chengdu Airport on February 22, 2014, around three quarters of the hard work had already been done," said Dong Ming Wu, CEO, DHL Express China. "There had already been weeks of planning involving a dedicated team of over 20 DHL specialists in network planning, customs and certification, ground handling and ground transportation, working across at least five countries. Despite the fact that we still had 8,000 kilometers to cover before making the final delivery, we were already confident that our network would play its part to perfection in this complex, long-term project."
