Lufthansa Cargo has welcomed its 18th B777 freighter at Frankfurt Airport.
The long-haul freighter was transferred directly from the Boeing factory in Everett, USA, to the cargo airline’s largest hub and arrived on August 17.
Ashwin Bhat, chief executive of Lufthansa Cargo, said: “We are delighted to welcome another efficient freighter to our fleet. This will allow us to provide our customers with additional capacity, continue to grow in the air freight market and enable global business.
“This means that we can align our network even more closely with our customers’ needs and also offer solutions to market changes at short notice.”
Bhat added: “In addition, the B777F remains the most efficient and modern freighter in its class. Our latest aircraft is therefore another important investment in our modern long-haul fleet and contributes in making air cargo more sustainable.
Lufthansa Cargo currently operates a full B777F fleet of 12 of its own aircraft on long-haul routes and six B777Fs operated by AeroLogic, a joint venture between DHL and Lufthansa Cargo.
