DHL parent Deutsche Post World Net has confirmed its intention to relocate its main European hub from Brussels to a new central European centre at Leipzig/Halle in Germany, where it will invest around €300 million ($387 million). The express package carrier intends to begin operations from Leipzig in 2008, when its Brussels operation will become a regional hub. Leipzig airport's southern runway will be rotated by 20° over the next five years, making it parallel to the northern runway to enable simultaneous use of both runways and redirecting air traffic from densely populated areas.
