Lufthansa Cargo's subsidiary, time:matters GmbH and Shenzhen Airport Group Co., have announced plans to deepen their partnership, focusing on logistics handling services. Shenzhen Airport, located in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, is a key player in the e-commerce sector and has experienced a significant rise in cross-border air transport volumes.
Since July 2024, Lufthansa Cargo has operated a scheduled freighter service between Shenzhen and Frankfurt twice weekly, combining the logistical strengths of both international hubs to meet the growing demand for e-commerce shipments, particularly to Europe. Additionally, Lufthansa Cargo and Shenzhen Airport Group Co., have jointly operated the International Cargo Centre Shenzhen (ICCS)—officially registered as Shenzhen Airport International Cargo Terminal Co.—as co-shareholders since 2004.
Last week, timeCourier Terminals GmbH, a wholly owned subsidiary of time:matters, signed a memorandum of understanding with ICCS. This marks an important step towards a collaborative future focused on delivering high-performance logistics handling services.
At the signing ceremony, Wong Ching Hao Ben, General Manager of Shenzhen Airport International Cargo Terminal Co. stated, “It's the highlight of ICCS's overall corporate development strategy, which is in line with Shenzhen Airport Group's strategy and China's national strategic planning of the Greater Bay Area.”
This strengthened collaboration reflects both companies' commitment to enhancing logistics capabilities and supporting the growing e-commerce market within one of the world's most dynamic economic regions.
