Lufthansa Cargo has retains top EU spot, but volume only rises 0.5pc
LUFTHANSA Cargo flew 811,000 tons of freight and mail during the interim reporting period, an increase of 0.5 per cent over the same period a year ago.
First half load factor was 67.6 per cent, down 2.5 percentage points, after achieving four per cent freight growth on its American and African routes, while sales in Europe and Asia were down slightly, reported the American Journal of Transportation.
"After an exceptionally good start to 2015, we were aware of the challenging market situation again in the second quarter. We are monitoring the market very carefully and can react by adjusting our routes flexibly and quickly to changes in demand," said CEO and chairman Peter Gerber.
The cargo airline commenced service to the Brazilian city of Natal recently and is offering an extra service to Vietnam this summer.
