Lufthansa Cargo takes delivery of its 18th Boeing 777 Freighter

Lufthansa Cargo took delivery of its 18th 777 Freighter on Saturday at Frankfurt Airport, directly from Boeing’s Everett factory.

The newest freighter in the Lufthansa Cargo fleet has also been given its name “¡Hola Argentina!” within the “Say hello around the world” logic.

“We are delighted to welcome another efficient freighter to our fleet. This will allow us to provide our customers with additional capacity, continue to grow in the air freight market and enable global business,” explains Ashwin Bhat, CEO of Lufthansa Cargo.

Lufthansa Cargo currently operates a full B777F fleet of twelve of its own aircraft on long-haul routes. In addition, six B777 freighters are operated by AeroLogic, a joint venture between DHL and Lufthansa Cargo.

The global network is additionally supplemented by a total of four A321 freighters on short and medium-haul routes. From this summer, these will not only operate to and from Frankfurt, but will also connect the Munich hub directly to the freighter network.
