The German post giant and Lufthansa each have a 25%stake in express delivery specialist DHL International, while Deutsche Post also purchased Air Express International last year. The new group would be the world's largest air freight forwarder, with an annual turnover of DM17 billion ($8.6 billion.) Talks are to be completed by April.
