MIAMI – Leading international cargo carrier DHL (D0) is expanding its routes in Asia and the Pacific to the US and Europe to meet the growing demand for freight services.

E-commerce is one of the main reasons for D0’s rapid growth and is estimated to reach a value of US US$2.5tn by 2024, while customers worldwide become more reliant on e-commerce, especially during COVID-19.

IAI and partner GE Capital Aviation Services, a major leasing company, announced Tuesday that the first extended range 777-300 will officially be inducted into IAI’s Tel Aviv repair facility toward the end of June.
Alcona County, “First of the 83,” looks south to faraway Iosco County this month.
Harrisville is equidistant between Alpena and Tawas City, and between Ossineke and Oscoda. Is Alcona more in the orbit of Alpena County or Iosco?
Some say that Up North begins at the Alcona-Iosco county line. Reach Greenbush (motto: “People Loving People”), and you’re there! Stay in Oscoda, and you’re still kind of downstate, those some say.
But Iosco seems as fully Up North as Alpena, with one major exception: Wurtsmith. The sprawling Air Force base dominated the Iosco/Alcona corridor for 30 years. And will again. Soon.
