Cathay, Lufthansa include Swiss WorldCargo in joint business pact

Cathay Pacific and Lufthansa Cargo announced the entry of Swiss WorldCargo into the airlines’ joint business agreement, providing cargo customers with more direct connections, flexibility, and speed. “Cathay Pacific and Lufthansa Cargo have a close collaboration on international lanes via their hubs in Hong Kong and Germany, while the handling of cargo in Hong Kong is coordinated under one roof at the Cathay Pacific Cargo Terminal of Hong Kong International Airport. Under the agreement, Cathay Pacific, Lufthansa Cargo, and Swiss WorldCargo will work closely on network planning, as well as on sales, IT, and ground handling. Initially, the airlines will cooperate on traffic from Hong Kong to Zurich and Frankfurt, with traffic to and from Hong Kong and Europe, which is planned to be included later this year,” said a statement. Cargo customers will be able to access the entire network via the booking systems of all three partners.
