Lufthansa and time:matters transport aid supplies to India

On behalf of time:matters, Lufthansa Cargo is flying ten tons of medical equipment to Delhi. The scheduled flight LH760 from Frankfurt to Delhi is carrying particularly urgent cargo these days: This week, a total of around ten tons of medical equipment is on its way to India on three flights.

(Frankfurt) On Thursday alone, 280 oxygen concentrators were flown to Delhi. The equipment is part of a larger order that time:matters, a specialist in high-priority logistics, is carrying out on behalf of a customer.

“We see it as our responsibility to contribute our part to international aid. The dramatic situation in India shows how important it is to transport aid supplies quickly and easily to where they are urgently needed. That is why we at Lufthansa Cargo, together with the Lufthansa Group, are doing everything we can to maintain supply chains worldwide. This requires enormous flexibility from our involved colleagues, good cooperation with our customers, and decisive action from international politics, for example, regarding special regulations for the entry of crews into a country,” said Dorothea von Boxberg, CEO of Lufthansa Cargo.

Flexibility despite challenges

“Our team of experienced logistics specialists enables global transport solutions despite challenging conditions, such as limited capacities, reduced flight schedules, and closed borders. For medical equipment, such as oxygen concentrators or other time-sensitive and sensitive shipments, individual, transparent, and 100 percent reliable transport is essential. Already in the first wave of the pandemic, time:matters, in collaboration with Lufthansa Cargo and the airlines of the Lufthansa Group, brought medical protective equipment to its destination across continents in the shortest possible time with the utmost flexibility and boundless commitment,” explains Alexander Kohnen, Managing Director of time:matters.
