"When fully established, our operations at the DWC combined with our Jebel Ali Free Zone facilities will allow us to maximise logistics synergies to strengthen our air, sea, road and contract logistics capabilities," Moretti added.
"As one of the most ambitious projects of its kind in the world, Dubai World Central 's connectivity to the Jebel Ali Free Zone and Port creates a Logistics Corridor that has facilitated a seamless logistics process for Danzas," said Stefan Fallet, Country Manager, Danzas AEI Emirates.
Through StarBroker AG, DHL 's in-house carrier, the first chartered flight from Dubai World Central bound for Massawa International Airport of the East-African state of Eritrea was successfully given the necessary landing rights to complete a seamless and on-time delivery of cargo.
