Lufthansa Cargo commences new cargo flights from Milan to North America

Lufthansa Group is further expanding its activities in Italy. On February 18, 2009, Lufthansa Cargo is commencing regular cargo flights from Milan to New York and Chicago. The twice-weekly service from Milan-Malpensa Airport across the Atlantic is to be operated by an MD-11 freighter. The aircraft will serve the Milan – New York JFK – Chicago – Milan route on Wednesdays and Saturdays, offering a capacity of about 90 tons per flight.

Lufthansa Cargo CEO Carsten Spohr: “Italy is Europe’s major airfreight market after Germany. The new freighter service will allow Lufthansa Cargo to further entrench its leading position in Italy. The Lufthansa Cargo Group is already offering direct flights with Jade Cargo International from the Asian industrial centres Shenzhen and Shanghai to Brescia. These services are operated with Boeing 747-400 freighters.”
