Lufthansa Cargo expands route network

Lufthansa Cargo flies their customers’ freight to around 300 target destinations in 100 countries. The carrier from Frankfurt is now once again making further improvements to this network, consisting of cargo connections and the freight capacity of Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, and Eurowings long-haul passenger flights.

Further destinations will be added in the coming months via Eurowings belly capacity on long-haul flights. From June, Lufthansa Cargo will use an Airbus A330 to serve Las Vegas (LAS) twice a week. Seattle (SEA, 2/7), Orlando (MCO, 2/7) and Windhoek (WDH, 2/7) will be added as further destinations from Cologne in July. Cargo stations in Cuba’s Varadero (VRA, 3/7) and Havana (HAV, 1/7) are also planned.

Lufthansa Cargo currently operates cargo flights to the Chinese metropolis of Shanghai (PVG) seven times a week, but from September there will be nine regular weekly connections. In addition, this route will exclusively be operated by Boeing 777F cargo aircraft with a standard load capacity of around 103 tonnes. Up to now, also MD-11Fs served this destination. From July, the cargo connection to Guangzhou (CAN) is also being upped by one weekly flight to five services per week.

Lufthansa Cargo is furthermore continuing to extend its partnerships. After the successful start to the collaboration with Japanese airline ANA Cargo two years ago and launching the cooperation with Cathay Pacific Cargo out of Hong Kong last year, a cargo joint venture with United Airlines has recently been announced.
