Online retail giant Amazon.com could be set to ramp up its logistics plans further by buying Frankfurt-Hahn Airport, according to a report in a German newspaper.

The Süddeutsche Zeitung reports that discussions between Amazon and the airport had taken place, and that the gateway planned to decide between three possible bidders soon.

Amazon runs a large fulfilment centre near where Frankfurt-Hahn is located near Koblenz in Germany.

Last month, Amazon leased 20 Boeing 767 Freighters from Air Transport Services Group, which is part of its strategy to more efficiently deliver products to its customers across the US.
