Cargo Carriers

Lufthansa Cargo AG became an autonomous company within the Lufthansa Group on 30 November 1994, reflecting the growing importance of airfreight as a business area in its own right.

With a transport volume of 1.70 million tonnes of freight and mail, 8.28 billion revenue tonne-kilometres and revenues of around 2.91 billion euros in 2008, Lufthansa Cargo ranks among the world’s biggest cargo carriers.

The company currently employs around 4,600 staff worldwide. Lufthansa Cargo’s core competency is the airport-to-airport business.
