There are two Amazon ramps planned at CVG. They started building the southern ramp, which is larger than the existing DHL ramp. It is reported to be able to accommodate about 100 aircraft. The northern ramp, which will be constructed after the southern ramp, is much bigger than the ramp on the south side.
Also, Amazon, at some point in the past 2018?2017? bought the whole Comair Airline HQ building/complex. They are currently renovating it so they can move in to the whole facility...think they are using part of it now.
Reading between the lines , this looks like a major challenge to DHL , or a major collaboration , the likes of which must make FedEx and UPS investors stay awake at night.
Wonder when a similar business plan ( Prime Air ) will be enacted in Europe. It doesn't take much imaginative thought to realise that the market potential in Europe is just as great as in the US.
