    Airborne Increases the Cash Portion of the Cash and Stock Consideration
    for all of its $150 Million 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2007



Seattle, Washington, November 21, 2003 - Airborne, Inc. ("Airborne"), an
indirect wholly owned subsidiary of DHL Worldwide Express B. V. ("DHL"), today
announced that it has increased the cash portion of the Cash and Stock
Consideration (as defined below) it is offering in its offer to purchase (the
"Tender Offer") all of its $150 million 5.75% Convertible Senior Notes due
2007 (the "Notes") and that the expiration date for the Tender Offer has been
extended. The cash payment in the All Cash Consideration (as defined below)
remains unchanged. Airborne originally commenced the Tender Offer on October
15, 2003 and amended the offer on November 5, 2003. The Tender Offer is made
pursuant to the Offer to Purchase, Consent Solicitation Statement and Change
in Control Notice, dated October 15, 2003, as amended November 5, 2003 (as it
may be further amended or supplemented from time to time, the "Amended and
Restated Offering Document").

The Tender Offer

Airborne is now offering to purchase any and all outstanding Notes in the
Tender Offer for, at the Note holder's (each a "Holder") election, either (i)
a cash payment of $1,080 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes ("All Cash
Consideration") or (ii) a cash payment of $993.65 plus 42.7599 shares of
common stock of ABX Air, Inc. ("ABX Air"), per $1,000 principal amount of
Notes (the "Cash and Stock Consideration"), with cash paid in lieu of
fractional shares. Consummation of the Tender Offer is subject to certain
conditions set forth in the Amended and Restated Offering Document. The
expiration date for the Tender Offer has been extended to 11:59 p.m., New York
City time on December 5, 2003, unless further extended by Airborne in its sole
discretion or earlier terminated (such time and date as may be extended, the
"Expiration Date").

As a condition to receiving the Cash and Stock Consideration, tendering
Holders must agree to convert their Notes pursuant to the terms of the
indenture. Under the indenture pursuant to which the Notes were issued,
following the consummation of the merger (the "Merger") pursuant to which DHL
acquired Airborne, each $1,000 principal amount of Notes is currently
convertible into $908.65 and 42.7599 shares of common stock of ABX Air. ABX
Air is an independent public company owned by the former shareholders of
Airborne.

Holders may exercise their withdrawal rights for previously tendered Notes
prior to the Expiration Date as set forth in the Amended and Restated Offering
Document.

Except for the increase in the cash portion of the Cash and Stock
Consideration and the extension of the Expiration Date, all other terms of the
Tender Offer remain as set forth in the Amended and Restated Offering
Document.
