Deutsche Post  Group —  Annual Report
Improving service in the Americas region
We are also improving our services in the Americas region. On-going measures include
the expansion of our hub in Cincinnati, whilst in Mexico we have signicantly increased
the number of service points. Internationally we have expanded our service to include
a new direct weekly ight at the weekend, with Monday delivery, between the United
States and Singapore as well as a further direct ight between China and the United
States.
Supporting development in Asia
Despite the slower pace of economic growth, the Asia Pacic region remains an import-
ant market for us. In the reporting year, a new gateway was opened in Melbourne to
support the intra-regional business to and from Australia. At Singapores Changi Airport
we are building a new hub with a fully automated sorting and processing system that
will triple our throughput and greatly increase shipment sorting at this strategic location.
Reliable partner in the  region
e business in the  (Middle East and Africa) region witnessed positive develop-
ment in  as well, although the Middle East again suered from enormous geo-
political inuences. Despite the situation, we were able to achieve further growth and
maintain our operations whilst adhering to legal requirements and ensuring the safety
of our employees for the benet of our customers. In the reporting year we began ser-
vicing Jordan, Egypt, Lebanon, Iraq and parts of Morocco with our own ights for the
rst time and we opened new facilities in Cairo. In sub-Saharan Africa we improved
links between the individual countries and the global market whilst developing the
necessary infrastructure. Furthermore, we increased the number of service points from
, to , and expanded logistics facilities and transport systems.
