Lufthansa Cargo to sell bellyhold space on Eurowings long-haul flights
LUFTHANSA Cargo is to sell the bellyhold cargo space on the long-haul flights operated by sister company, Eurowings.
The German carrier said it would begin selling the space on Eurowings' flights from Cologne/Bonn to the Caribbean (Varadero, Cancun, Dominican Republic) and Thailand (Phuket, Bangkok) from March 27.
Eurowings is in the process of expanding from a short-haul operator to offering long-haul services and has also been taking over the services of short-haul operator, Germanwings, reported London's Air Cargo News.
But its long-haul operations did not get off to a good start. Late last year its new long-haul operations came under criticism because of delays to flights as a result of technical problems and the fact it only had two long-haul Airbus A330-200s. Eventually, it plans to have a fleet of seven A330s.
As a result of the issues it faced, reports suggest it postponed plans to commence flights to Boston and Miami and shelved a service to Tehran. Parent company Lufthansa also had to take control of a flight to its third long-haul destination, Dubai.
