Lufthansa Cargo has published the winter schedule for its cargo aircraft. The carrier will continue to serve numerous destinations worldwide in the coming half-year from its home hub in Frankfurt am Main (FRA).

“We look forward to again offering our customers an extensive and dense network of freighter connections in the coming winter period. It perfectly complements the some 150 worldwide destinations currently offered to our customers via the belly capacities of Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings and SunExpress. In order to optimally meet demand, we will continue to manage our freighters flexibly in the coming months,” said Dorothea von Boxberg, Lufthansa Cargo CCO and Board Member Product and Sales.

Between Europe and Asia alone, an average of 35 freighter connections a week are scheduled. Here, the focus will be on the Chinese metropolis of Shanghai (PVG), the South Korean capital Seoul (ICN), Japan’s capital Tokyo (NRT) and the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKG). Also scheduled are China’s capital Beijing (PEK) and the West Chinese metropolis Chengdu (CTU), as well as several destinations in India, including Mumbai (BOM), Hyderabad (HYD), Chennai (MAA) and Bangalore (BLR). There are also scheduled flights to the Japanese conurbation of Osaka (KIX), the Thai capital Bangkok (BKK), the Vietnamese metropolis Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) and the Uzbek capital Tashkent (TAS).

Cargo aircraft are scheduled to operate 34 times a week between Europe and North America. Chicago (ORD), New York (JFK), Los Angeles (LAX) and Atlanta (ATL) are among the most frequently served airports.
