Kougarok: DHL's operation at CVG is too small for Amazon. The ramp is nearly full with parked DHL planes, and the sort capacity is already maxed out. DHL can do 80000 pieces per hour, and Amazon has already essentially fully-utilized that. So there is minimal ability to add routes that go through CVG. In the future, it makes sense for Amazon to maximize its return on investment by doing two sorts per day, and they have zero ability to use DHL for the night bank. So if they're going to stay at CVG rather than moving back to Hooterville, they need to build something and quick. Alternatively, they could just continue to grow through flights that bypass the Hub, as it looks like they will for now, but they seem to like the results of the sorting.
