AmazonThe hub, which unveiled Wednesday local time, cost $1.5 billion and is located in northern Kentucky. Some media pointed out that the aviation hub will become the hub of its air cargo network throughout the United States, enabling it to provide "next-day delivery" or even "same-day delivery" services in more areas.
As a large ecommerce company, it is not surprising that Amazon.Com Inc has spent a lot of money on logistics, while the aviation hub that the company unveiled on Wednesday local time is truly "spending a lot of money" because it was built at a cost of $1.5 billion.
The hub, located in northern Kentucky, covers a total area of more than 600 acres (242.8 hectares), including a tarmac, a multi-storey parking building and seven other buildings, including a 800000-square-foot robot sorting center. In terms of overall efficiency, the center is designed to accommodate 100 Amazon.Com Inc cargo aircraft, while the number of flights per day is expected to reach 200.
Although Amazon.Com Inc's air cargo business reaches more than 40 airports across the United States, the hub at Cincinnati / North Kentucky International Airport will become the hub of its air cargo network across the United States, allowing it to provide "next day delivery" or even "same day delivery" services in more areas, according to CNBC. In addition, Amazon.Com Inc has expanded his aviation logistics services outside the United States, setting up a 20, 000-square-meter regional aviation hub at Germany's Leipzig / Halle airport in November last year.
There is also an episode: according to the tweet of Amazon.Com Inc's founder BezosWhen the aviation hub broke ground in 2019, he was driving a loader to carry a pile of soil to cut the ribbon for the project. Bezos said on Twitter at the time that the hub would allow packages to arrive faster and create 2000 jobs.
