Lufthansa Cargo welcomes fourth A321 freighter

Since November, the fourth A321 freighter has been operating in Lufthansa Cargo’s network, making a significant contribution to the cargo carrier’s expansion plans. The freighter with the registration D-AEUJ completes the A321F fleet, meeting the growing freight requirements of its customers. With 14 pallet and container positions on the main deck and ten on the lower deck, the twin-engine medium-haul aircraft have a total payload of 28 tonnes each and offer fast and flexible transportation solutions in scheduled or charter operations. The freighter has already made its first flights to Istanbul (IST), Helsinki (HEL), Stockholm (ARN), Birmingham (BHX), Dublin (DUB), Casablanca (CMN), Copenhagen (CPH) and Madrid (MAD).

As part of its expansion strategy, Lufthansa Cargo continues to expand and optimise its existing A321F network. The new winter flight schedule, which came into effect on October 29, includes two new destinations: Amman (AMM) and Stockholm (ARN). The Jordanian capital Amman (AMM) is connected to the central cargo hub in Germany once a week by an A321 freighter with flight number LH8288/8289.

Stockholm Arlanda (ARN) is an important hub for the transportation of pharmaceutical and temperature-sensitive goods. Three times a week, the flight with flight numbers LH8354/LH8355 connects Frankfurt and Stockholm. The new routing takes place on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. 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.

On November 23, Stavanger (SVG) was added to the A321F network. Stavanger (SVG) is already part of the B777F network but will now be served once a week by A321 freighters.
