DHL Solutions & Innovation
KEY ALLIANCES :
Lufthansa and JAL, cargo powerhouses in their own right,
would finally be able to pierce the higher- yielding, fast-
growing parcel and document market that had always
eluded them. DHL's non-U.S. unit, the biggest component
of the DHL network, would have access to the two carriers'
far-flung international networks, and would be able to
obtain preferential space and rates.Three years later, the
companies, along with Nissho Iwai, a Japanese trading
house also involved in the partnership, still seem to be
feeling their way along. A "synergy committee" made up of
the four companies met in early October in Brussels,
Belgium, and will confer on a regular basis. But as
Joachim Haas, Lufthansa's cargo manager for the
Americas and a member of the synergy committee, put it,
"I have about 100 items still on my list" that have not been
dealt with.
