Lufthansa Cargo augments medium-haul network
From 1 March 2022, Lufthansa Cargo customers will also be able to book their cargo on converted A321 medium-haul freighters. With the start of operations on 15 March, Lufthansa Cargo will gradually complement the global route network with Istanbul (IST), Tel Aviv (TLV), Malta (MLA), Tunis (TUN), Dublin (DUB) and Manchester (MAN) by operating these freighters.
In the summer schedule, the carrier will also add flights to Cairo (CAI) starting 29 March. The partially new stations in the freighter network will be served two to three times a week from and to Frankfurt (FRA). The A321F will make its first commercial flight from Frankfurt to Dublin on 15 March. Lufthansa Cargo is thus responding to the continuing growth in demand from the e-commerce industry. (cj)
