DHL lost some ground in the U.S. as they absorbed and digested Airborne Freight. The intergration of the the former Airborne and DHL was more painful than expected. Consolidation of the two hubs (CVG & ILN) to ILN was more painful than expected.

Astar (the former DHL Airways) is now an ACMI carrier, along with ABX Air (the former wholly owed subsidiary of Airborne). Both are presently hauling freight for DHL within the U.S. ABX is not hiring at this time (I don't know about Astar) but we are putting recently aquired former Delta 767's into service as freighers. We are also actively looking for more aircraft. Personally, I think we have better QOL than UPS or Fedex based on our schedules, but other milage may vary.
