Lufthansa Cargo's Carsten Hernig, who was previously vice president region Latin America & Caribbean, has moved to the role of deputy general manager and vice president production, sales and marketing at Shanghai Pudong International Airport Cargo Terminal Co. Ltd (PACTL).
The appointment has been in effect since October 2022, Lufthansa Cargo said, with Hernig since then responsible for production, sales and marketing at the joint venture between Lufthansa Cargo and Shanghai Pudong Airport.
"I am very pleased that we are welcoming Carsten Hernig, an experienced Lufthansa employee, to this important interface," said Dietmar Focke, chief operations officer and chief HR Officer at Lufthansa Cargo. "His extensive experience at Lufthansa Cargo, especially in the international arena, makes him ideally qualified for the new tasks."
Hernig succeeds Christian Haug, who had held this position since 2016 and who will remain in Shanghai until the final handover.
Hernig has held a variety of positions in the Lufthansa Group for more than 25 years, starting off as a manager in the sales planning & steering Team Asia Pacific in Singapore. He also served as regional director in Russia and Hong Kong and led sales and handling as director South Asia and Middle East in New Delhi.
