“US SAFTEY Act“ designation for Lufthansa Cargo

Lufthansa Cargo is the first air cargo carrier to receive the certificate for the secuitry screening of air cargo exportations from the United States

Lufthansa Cargo is the first airline to meet the requirements of the US Department of Homeland Security according to the “SAFETY Act”. The air cargo carrier’s safety screening of air cargo exportations from the United States has just recently been certified. James LoBello, Head of Security in the Americas, states: “With the reception of this certificate we have again proven our industry leadership position in the area of air cargo security”.

The airline has invested intensively to further improve air cargo security over the recent years. In the U.S. Lufthansa Cargo has implemented new x-ray and trace detection machines into operation and is currently increasing the number of security experts at its stations significantly. “With these investments in equipment, resources and programs, we are striving for the highest possible security along with the most efficient processes in order to benefit our customers”, stressed LoBello.

The SAFETY Act provides legal liability protections for providers of qualified anti-terrorism technologies – whether they are products or services. The goal of the SAFETY Act is to encourage the development and deployment of new and innovative anti-terrorism products and services by providing liability protections.
