Lufthansa Cargo reactivates its freight service to Lima

Lufthansa Cargo’s MD-11 freighters to call Lime twice weekly from October 27; negotiations about resumption of the service to Chongqing
 
As of the start of its 2013 winter schedule Lufthansa Cargo will be expanding its services in the growth market Latin America. The cargo airline will add the Peruvian capital Lima to its global route network on 27 October 2013.
 
Its new service to Lima will be flown twice a week with MD-11 freighters. On Mondays and Fridays the flight goes via Dakar (Senegal) and Manaus (Brazil) to Peru. The return flight to Frankfurt will include stops in Quito, capital of Ecuador, as well as in Aguadilla in Puerto Rico.
 
“Peru’s strong economic development is boosted by numerous free trade agreements – also with the European Union – that became effective in March 2013. Lima is the country’s economic centre. The main exports of the up-and-coming South American country are fruit and vegetables – such as asparagus, mangos and berries. But significant air transport figures can also be expected for numerous non-perishable goods“, the airline states in a press release.
 
In addition, Lufthansa Cargo is negotiating with the Chinese authorities in order to resume its service to the science hub Chongqing from the end of October. The rapidly growing metropolis has a population of 32 million people – which is as many as living in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria and Switzerland put together. Chongqing had already been served in the winter schedule for 2012, but was dropped for the time being due to poor demand in summer 2013.
