In the future, Airbus will take the logistics and warehousing areas into its own hands again in Hamburg and will also take over the warehousing previously operated by Kuehne + Nagel in the Hanseatic city. The changeover is scheduled to start in March 2021.

Furthermore, a new logistics subsidiary was founded, which is to operate a central warehouse on July 2021. In the future, components for the assembly lines in the USA and China are to be shipped from Hamburg and will do so independently, reports Die Welt am Sonntag. With this measure, Airbus wants to reduce costs and at the same time have better options for intervening in the event of quality problems.

The Group's largest logistics and storage center is therefore being built in Hamburg on an area of ​​45.000 square meters. Internally, this is referred to as the "Skyhub". Airbus will also need additional staff for this and assumes that "several hundred jobs" will be created when demand picks up again.
