mit Airborne ziehen die keinen Fisch vom Teller. Deshalb ist ja IMO der NAA-Deal so interessant und wichtig.
Deutsche Post Aims to Boost Returns for DHL in US November 18, 2003 -- Ileana Grabitz, Financial Times Deutschland: Deutsche Post, the German postal and logistics group, is aiming for the loss-making US business of DHL, its express delivery subsidiary, to achieve a return of at least 4 per cent in a few years' time. It is hoping for a secure third position on the US express delivery market, behind the two market leaders FedEx and UPS, and, with this aim in mind, it invested 1.05bn euros in the acquisition of the US company Airborne, which, alone, already ranked third on the US market having achieved turnover of 3.34bn euros last year. Synergies between Airborne and DHL will be targeted as a step towards improving profitability. However, the two market leaders in the US are currently far ahead of DHL in the US, both in terms of returns and in terms of market share. While the German company currently has only a 9 per cent share of the US market, FedEx and UPS, together, have more than 90 per cent.
