WHY GERMANY IS SO GOOD IN LOGISTICS: Landing, unloading, loading - Cargo hub Leipzig | Documentary

Leipzig/Halle Airport went into operation back in 1927, and 81 years later DHL opened a hub here. With 1.4 million tons of air freight in 2020, Leipzig/Halle Airport is Germany's second-largest cargo airport. At the DHL hub, around 6,000 employees ensure that 150,000 shipments reach their destinations every hour. This report takes a look behind the scenes of the logistics hub, accompanies employees of Antonow Airlines and shows customs officers during checks.

I lived close to this airport the last 16 years... There are many different logistics companies, the biggest is DHL Europe. Then there's Antonov Airlines (moved from Kiev), Amazon Air, Lufthansa Cargo and some others like Air Bridge Cargo (a russian company that's banned from Leipzig since the war in Ukraine had been started...)

I am a cargo pilot and have flown many times into this airport for a previous employer. As others have commented on this video of the unfortunate demise of the AN 225 which I have been fortunate to be next to on the ramp many times and spoken with the crew but also of the casualty of all the AirBridgeCargo jets. AirBridge might have been Russian but they had one of the most modern freight fleets in existence

I worked for DHL Express for many years and they have a impressive and very strict system. A DHL 24 hour WPX pack can be scanned in 5 different countries and scanned 20 times during that time, and you will still get the pack delivered to your door next day.

[@mbondodaniel4247]

Lucky you would want to work for them to get the experience of logistics

[@V3ntilator]

@@mbondodaniel4247 DHL is the only global logistics company on earth. They have a reputation to take care of, so they are demanding and strict. In fact they lose money on some deliveries too just to please everyone. Also. They are very strict with where a package is at all times, and is why one pack can have like 20 scans in 24 hours. DHL drivers have a great salary btw.

I work in international logistics for a company in France and I cannot stress how efficient DHL is in both cargo and small pack shipments. They are the gold standard in getting almost anything from incredible distances in the shortest amount of time. Their tracking system is exhaustive and very useful for anyone in my field. While they don't have as large of a footprint in the US and UPS and FedEx, they are my go-to when it comes to closing important business deals.

Another imbecile . The majority of the thinking staff at DHL Liepzig are English,A English company runs the majority of their fleet . The aircraft are registered in the UK though some have been re registered in Germany . The aircraft are leased from a English company mainly . The only German part is a few managers, cleaners ,semi skilled engineers a few licensed engineers and the canteen staff

[@luislopes806]

It is a good documentary about Air freight Logistics. We know that logistics by air has become an almost essential part of foreign trade, both because of the high price of some goods and because of the quickness in delivery to clients. In the last years, the boom of e-commerce has increased the demand for air freight because consumers have become very exigent about delivery in time and safety and satisfying them has become a factor for companies' competitiveness. DHL is one of the leader in the logistics industry specializing in international air freight for products such as machine, cars and others.

You show how logistics is good in (Leipzig) Germany, but never answer the question ‘why.’ I lived in Germany for five years and learned much about the culture. Germans are regimented, taught to value individual commitment and responsibility (very unlike Americans). This makes Germans ideal workers. I think this in part at least answers the question ‘why.’

[@zamar2158]

Americans who are of german, scandanavian , British origin are still like that. But other americans , not so much. American is not a homogenous group and with all the diversity etc, will not retain the cultural capital that made them successful in the past. We are seeing the demographic change affect the American culture in real life. Now when I travel to the US, it's just an extension of latin america. Soon with spanish overtaking english it will be a Mexico or Colombia in 10 years time. I hope the same doesn't happen to Germany .

[@liloruf2838]

I guess, for past years this was the truth indeed Now there are so many turks, maroccs, syrians, afgahns, Bulgarians, Poles.. you name it.

Funny that ad DHL operation at Liepzig is mainly run by a English company using English people . Many British contractors in various departments doing the real day to day work with several other europeans . The Germans do work as cleaners ,security guards ,canteen staff and a few managers . As they are useless without a document telling them what to do. The whole operation is heavily subsidised by the city of Liepzig and the State

[@janschkeuditz6065]

Thomas Marshall ,you are a imbecile 5 years in s country like Germany and you think you know everything . The stereo type does not fit . DHL is in the former DDR quite different to the test of Germany . As with most countries people vary from town to town ,city to city . Yes they need a written order in most cases but not all.

[@dreamfunction4491]

Germans may be responsible but they are also very obedient, compliant and surrender to authority far too quickly. They have a wonderful rich culture and history yet they don't speak up for themselves. They should kick the immigrants and illegal aliens out. Quickly. In short, Germans have a slave-like mentality.
