DHL commenced with daily 767-200 flight operating between its Americas hub at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport (CVG) and Detroit. The flight allows DHL to provide earlier delivery times and later pick-up times by an hour on each end. The flight, operated by Atlas Air, a subsidiary of Atlas Air Worldwide, stops in Minneapolis to connect with freight routed to and from Canada.
