Operational changes at European air cargo hub
Today, 8 July 2020, Frankfurt airport’s northwest runway (07L/25R) will go back into operation to ensure stable flight operations for the upcoming summer holiday season. The runway has not been in use since 23 March and has served as a parking area for wide body aircraft, most of them operated by Lufthansa.
At the Lufthansa Cargo Centre (LCC), Fiege Air Cargo Logistics will take over the operative handling and coordination of inbound and outbound standard shipments until mid 2021. The physical cargo handling processes in the LCC had already been largely outsourced to external service providers for many years.
Felix Scherberich and Benjamin Looser are managing directors of the newly founded company of the Fiege Group, a subsidiary in the "industry and tyres" division of the Fiege Logistics Foundation. (ah)
