Key Facts: Russia

25 years in Russia

2009 marks the 25-year anniversary of the year in which the leading international express and logistics company, DHL, opened its first office in Russia. Since then, the words "express delivery" have become synonymous in Russia with the name "DHL".

Dedicated charter flights between Russia and Europe

DHL is the only express carrier that can offer 32 tonnes of dedicated airfreight capacity on a daily basis between Russia and Europe. A Tupolev-204C flies 6 times a week between Moscow and DHL's global hub in Leipzig, Germany, while an Antonov-26 connects Saint Petersburg 5 days per week between Saint Petersburg and Helsinki.


One of the most extensive express delivery networks in Russia

DHL is one of the leaders on the Russian express delivery market. Over 150 offices, from Kaliningrad to Murmansk to Sochi, offering pick-up and delivery to over 600 towns and cities in Russia, and connected by over 700 commercial vehicles and an array of air and ground routes. All this combines to create one of the most extensive networks in the country.


A ground network of 7 terminals in the country's largest cities

DHL has set up a network of scheduled ground transport links between the major cities of Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Rostov-on-Don, Nizhny Novgorod, Samara, Ekaterinburg, and Novosibirsk. On a daily basis, this network supports DHL's time definite and day definite services for standard and heavier weight shipments.

DHL Russia's Customer Service has been recognised as one of the best in the CIS

In 2008, the Moscow Customer Service Department of DHL Russia was recognised as the best in Russia and the CIS. The company took first place in three categories - "Best Corporate Culture", "Team of the Year" and "Best Call Centre Training" - at the Russian and CIS Call Centre Awards.
