International forwarder TNT Express opened on Thursday an
express depot at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport in Banten,
as part of its efforts to improve the speed and efficiency of its
service.

"Since we first opened our doors for business in 1979 in
Indonesia, TNT has demonstrated a strong commitment to our
customers and to developing the air express delivery and
logistics industry in the country," TNT Indonesia's Colin Moran
said in a press release on Thursday.

TNT Indonesia, which has more than 18 branch offices, nine
agents and 400 staff nationwide, is a subsidiary of TNT Express.

The release stated that Indonesia's economic potential had
encouraged TNT to continue its commitment to the country.

Previously, TNT said its investment in the express depot
reached about US$4 million.

The depot, which the firm said was the country's largest
airport depot express facility, comprises a 2,000-square-meter
building with a 600-square-meter mezzanine area. The depot is
equipped with closed-circuit television to enhance security.

It also has a 1,400-square-meter warehouse and bonded area,
enabling the company to handle export/import packages more
efficiently.

Ken McCall, the chief executive officer of TNT Asia, Middle
East and Africa, said the new depot reflected TNT's continued
confidence in Indonesia.
