note
DHL Express is a large worldwide courier service owned by Deutsche Post. Its flight operations are contracted out to certificated carriers. DHL will occasionally lease airplanes directly and place them with the contracted operator. In the US, DHL Network Operations is responsible for contracting.
DHL was founded as a courier service which carried documents between San Francisco and Honolulu; within 10 years it was providing courier services worldwide, and expanded to the domestic US market in the mid-1980s. Deutsche Post began acquiring shares in 1998 and completed its purchase in 2002.
