Boris Hueske was most recently the Head of Digital Transformation at Lufthansa Cargo, responsible for the digital strategy and the development of digital business models. Nikola Todic most recently led the Business Development of the A321F fleet at Lufthansa and took over the associated network planning, steering, and strategic development.

Since 2019, heyworld GmbH has been a 100% subsidiary of Lufthansa Cargo based in Frankfurt am Main and employs 45 people. In collaboration with Lufthansa Cargo, heyworld has created an eCommerce hub at Frankfurt Airport and launched its own parcel sorter in October 2022. The focus of the offering is on transport solutions in the medium- and long-haul network of Lufthansa Cargo for online retailers, digital marketplaces, and freight forwarders.

Simplification of eCommerce Logistics

The transport offering for online trade is based on a modular product, particularly emphasizing fast and reliable connections with short transit times for transport as well as customs clearance. Continuous shipment tracking and parcel-based pricing are also part of the portfolio. heyworld simplifies and digitizes cross-border eCommerce logistics by orchestrating all providers along the supply chain and offering a high-quality one-stop-shop solution. As a digital freight forwarder, heyworld provides a service that is faster than postal shipping and cheaper than express services.

High Market Demand

Ashwin Bhat, Chief Commercial Officer at Lufthansa Cargo: “I am very pleased to have two experienced and agile managers, Boris Hueske and Nikola Todic, join the young company heyworld. They both bring extensive experience and knowledge from the fields of digitalization and eCommerce in the air freight segment. In light of the persistently high market demand for tailored eCommerce and same-day offerings, our goal is to integrate our increased freight capacities in the medium- and long-haul network even more closely with the services of heyworld and make them more attractive for our customers. My thanks go to Timo Schamber, who has laid an important foundation for the development and expansion of heyworld through our very good collaboration over the past years.”
