Lufthansa Cargo has welcomed its 18th 777 freighter at Frankfurt Airport.
The long-haul freighter aircraft was transferred directly from the Boeing factory in Everett, USA, to the cargo airline's largest hub.
""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,” said Ashwin Bhat, CEO of Lufthansa Cargo.
Bhat continued: “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 contributing in making air cargo more sustainable.""
Lufthansa Cargo currently operates a full 777F fleet of twelve of its own aircraft on long-haul routes. In addition, six B777 freighters are operated by AeroLogic, a joint venture between DHL and Lufthansa Cargo.
