Lufthansa Cargo's pharma facilities in Munich and Chicago
While most of the pharmaceutical shipments carried by Lufthansa Cargo are handled at its "Lufthansa Cargo Pharma Hub Frankfurt", which was last extended by around two-thirds to 8,000 sqm in 2018, a similar facility has now been opened at Munich airport.
After a construction period of only five months, the southern German hub offers space for up to 96 pallets and loose cargo in two different temperature ranges and a freezer on almost 1,000 sqm and on several levels.
The carrier is also expanding these capacities in the USA. The Lufthansa Cargo Pharma Center Chicago at ORD (pictured) was opened there in June. Since the middle of the year, the 750 sqm facility has been providing space on several levels for up to 54 pallets and 102 cool containers in two different temperature ranges and in a freezer. (ah)
