DHL were not hauling their own freight. They were dependent on the overflow from UPS and FedEx. Amazon is the supplier and the shipper.
Like someone else said, 3 billion in cash buys a lot of airliners and trucks. I worked in operations for one of the first UPS contractors when I was finishing college. UPS started small in air freight. Look where they are now. I would not discount this plan from working.
