Lufthansa Cargo and Swiss WorldCargo will align closely over the next few moths to create a unified market approach and enhance customer value. A range of services such as shipment flows, operational procedures, and IT platforms, will be synthesised.
Both the air freight divisions of Lufthansa Group plan to maintain their distinct brands and strengths. They however expect the new alignment to help them lead through the ongoing changes in the airfreight industry.
“We are building on the complementary strengths of Lufthansa Cargo and Swiss WorldCargo,” said head of Swiss WorldCargo, Alain Chisari. “By combining our capabilities, expertise, and market presence, we will create new, industry leading synergies and provide greater value to our customers.
“Together we are shaping the future of specialised and premium air cargo services across our combined network.”
Swiss WorldCargo is the expert for high-value, care-intensive, time-critical air freight focused on the belly capacity. It offers efficient, personalised services across more than 130 destinations worldwide.
Lufthansa Cargo is the efficiency leader offering both belly and freighter capacity. It is a leader in digitalisation and well-known for its innovative solutions.
“Lufthansa Cargo and Swiss WorldCargo are respected brands within the air cargo industry known for the highest quality and reliable transportation solutions,” said Ashwin Bhat, CEO of Lufthansa Cargo. “Thanks to a deeper cooperation, customers will have access to one of the broadest networks in the industry.
“By aligning the two organisations even closer, we further strengthen Lufthansa Group’s purpose of connecting people, cultures and economies in a sustainable way.”
