DHL purchased Airborne Express to acquire the North American "domestic" service in the mid 2000s. I was on my way to retiring from Airborne after being injured on the job, and never did wear the yellow and red DHL colors. From what I was told, the deal never worked out and DHL has remained an international shipping specialist in the industry. Airborne is gone. Just what I was told, as I said. Seems they've got lots of money, as they sponsor both Indy Car and Formula One programs, right?
I personally don't do any international deals at the present time, so I can't offer anything but this small anecdote to the conversation.
Good luck! -- Ernie :>)
