ABX Cuts 347 Jobs in Ohio | TravelingCrossing

ABX Air is cutting 347 more employees at the Wilmington Air Park in southwest Ohio, bringing total job cuts for the company to more than 2,400 over the past six months.

The company, owned by Wilmington-based Air Transport Services, said the cuts began last Thursday and should end March 13th. The cargo airline operated a sorting and shipping operation at the park for DHL Express, whose German parent in November announced plans to pull out.

The city of Wilmington and surrounding areas are expected to lose about 8,000 jobs as DHL packs up. According to filings with the state, ABX, DHL or companies tied to the park’s operations have cut more than 3,000 jobs in the past several months. Of those, about 2,450 came from ABX.

The company, whose largest customer was DHL, began 2008 with about 7,000 workers in Wilmington. That total has dipped below the 3,000-employee mark.
