Lufthansa Cargo hubs, Operations and Airports served
“As of 2011, all Lufthansa Cargo aircraft are based at Frankfurt, Airport considered the seventh
highest freight hub in the world, where the airline enjoys a strong co-operation with the operator
of the airport. Cargo facilities at the airport are divided into two places (Cargo City North and
South), of which the first one is nearly exclusively used by Lufthansa Cargo (Lufthansa-
cargo.com). “ There’s a new destination for Lufthansa Cargo’s Boeing 777F: the brand-new
freighter is heading for Shanghai Pudong Airport. It has become the first city in the global route
network of Europe’s leading cargo airline that is served with daily flights by the new “Triple
Seven”( Company source). “We are strengthening our position in China considerably through

the use of the best freighter in its class”, emphasized Christian Haug, Regional Director North &
Central to more than 100 representatives of the logistics industry in Shanghai. “The Triple
Seven is already setting standards in reliability and other areas in just the first few months since
we introduced the new aircraft model” (Christian Haug, 2016). Lufthansa Cargo has always
been involved in China. “Freighters and Lufthansa Passenger aircraft currently fly to a total of
nine cities on the Chinese mainland and in Hong Kong and Taiwan” (company source).
According to the cargo company, 2,200 tons of freight are offered to customers of the European
hub every week. Major traffic goes through the hubs of Frankfurt, Munich and Vienna
(Austria). Carsten Spohr, CEO of Lufthansa Cargo: "For Vienna Airport, Vienna International
Airport will become a central European hub - comparable to our German hubs in Frankfurt and
Munich. Thanks to the excellent Austrian network Board Member” (Andreas Bierwirthand ).
Lufthansa Cargo just made the Vienna Hub available to allow customers use an all array of direct
connections from around the world. Lufthansa Cargo operates under the principle of offering the
best to their clients at discount prices and traditionally prioritizes its business relationship with its
pairs in the industry. Lufthansa Cargo without a doubt has made the company a successful one
while making sure that their services remain the most excellent.
Lufthansa Cargo is ranked among the global leading air freight as it operates with such
goal as top service.
