- New stations opened in Zhengzhou and Shenzhen
- A total of 19 destinations in the Asia-Pacific region
Lufthansa Cargo flies to two more Asian stations with its B777F long-haul fleet from its home hub in Frankfurt: The carrier has now added Shenzhen Boa’an International Airport (SZX) to its freighter network and will serve it twice a week in future. The Lufthansa Group’s logistics expert has also recently started operating freighters to Zhengzhou (CGO) three days a week.
“In the Chinese market, the e-commerce business segment in particular is growing steadily, and we continue to see high demand, especially to Europe. Accordingly, additional air freight capacity is needed to transport goods quickly, compliantly and safely. With the expansion of our Asian network, we can now serve even more important freight destinations in China for our customers. This will be possible thanks to the new B777F freighter, which we expect to receive in the course of this summer. This will not only mean enabling global business for our customers in a sustainable way, but also growing as a company in an important cargo region,” explains Ashwin Bhat, CEO of Lufthansa Cargo.
With the two new Chinese destinations, Lufthansa Cargo can now offer its cargo customers a total of 19 destinations with 47 weekly frequencies in Asia and thus additional important flexible capacities for the fast and direct transportation of their goods. The Lufthansa Cargo Group is particularly well positioned in the eCommerce sector, as the subsidiaries heyworld and CB Customs Broker are two experts at Lufthansa Cargo’s side. With their expertise, cargo customers benefit from integrated and holistic solutions for shipping, customs clearance and compliant onward transportation of eCommerce shipments.
