Lufthansa Cargo has announced its winter 2025/26 schedule, offering customers enhanced global connectivity and flexible cargo solutions through its expanding hub network and partnerships.
Alongside its main hub in Frankfurt, the airline continues operations via Munich, Vienna, and Brussels, with Rome Fiumicino now joining as a cargo hub following an expanded partnership with ITA Airways. From late October, Lufthansa Cargo will market nearly all of ITA’s bellyhold capacity on continental and intercontinental services under its own air waybill, except for US and Canada routes, pending regulatory approval. This expansion is expected to increase available capacity by nearly 20%.
