U.S. House Committee Plans Hearings on UPS/DHL Agreement
August 26th, 2008 | Posted in Products
UPS’ plan to fly packages for rival DHL will be the subject of a hearing by the U.S. House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure when Congress returns in September 2008.
UPS has its main air hub in Louisville, Kentucky and DHL’s air hub is in Wilmington, Ohio.
“I have serious concerns about the UPS-DHL alliance, including effects on service, costs, consumer choice, and jobs,” Committee Chairman James L. Oberstar said in a statement. “This alliance is likely to eliminate two cargo air carriers, ABX and ASTAR, which now serve DHL and compete with UPS. This would lessen, or even eliminate, competition between UPS and DHL in providing overnight package delivery services.” He said the alliance could cost as many as 8,000 jobs in the state.
