Lufthansa Cargo expands fleet, adds 4th A321 freighter

Lufthansa Cargo has added a fourth A321 freighter to its short- and medium-haul network as part of its plan to expand capacity. The freighter, with the registration D-AEUJ, has been operating in Lufthansa Cargo’s network since November, and has already made its first flights to Istanbul, Helsinki, Stockholm, Birmingham, England, Dublin, Casablanca, Copenhagen and Madrid. The carrier added its third A321F in July. As part of its expansion strategy, Lufthansa Cargo continues to expand its A321F network. The new winter flight schedule, which came into effect on October 29, includes two new destinations: Queen Alia International Airport in Amman, Jordan (AMM) and Stockholm Arlanda Airport in Sweden (ARN). AMM is connected to the Lufthansa Cargo’s Frankfurt Airport cargo hub in Germany once a week by an A321 freighter.

Frankfurt and ARN are connected three times a week. The new routing takes place on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.

ARN is an important hub for the transportation of pharmaceutical and temperature-sensitive goods, said Lufthansa Cargo.

“Especially the Friday flight offers customers the possibility of late deliveries at the end of the industry’s production week, connecting in Frankfurt to Lufthansa Cargo’s worldwide network the next morning, the carrier explained.
