Lufthansa Cargo has christened the latest addition to its own freighter fleet, ‘¡Hola Argentina!’, highlighting Argentina's connection to the global airfreight market. The cargo carrier has been flying between South America's second-largest country and the Frankfurt hub since 1970.
The Lufthansa Group's cargo carrier is systematically strengthening its presence in South America and relying on long-term partnerships.
In this year's summer flight schedule, the cargo airline is flying to Buenos Aires and Curitiba once a week more than in the previous winter flight schedule. Lufthansa Cargo offers its customers up to 20 weekly rotations from Frankfurt and three rotations per week from Munich to South America with additional belly capacities within the Lufthansa Group.
“South America is and will continue to be an important growth market for Lufthansa Cargo. Especially in the perishables industry, we have built strong partnerships with our customers over the last three decades. With the christening of our latest freighter, we are emphasizing our commitment to Argentina and, in line with our motto of ‘enabling global business’, are also committing to this market and our customers,” said Ashwin Bhat, CEO of Lufthansa Cargo, during the ceremony at Buenos Aires Airport.
