Lufthansa Cargo announced that it has opened its new Fine Arts warehouse facility at the Frankfurt Hub, allowing for the safe and professional storage of Fine Arts during airfreight transportation.
The German air carrier said the 155 square meters "ARTcube" in the Lufthansa Cargo Center offers twice as much space for the storage of high-value Fine Arts of all kinds.
"The modern ARTcube combines optimal handling processes with the highest security features. This allows us to meet the special requirements of sensitive art objects and offer customized solutions for the storage of Fine Arts in our Hub," said Thomas Rohrmeier, head of Handling Frankfurt at Lufthansa Cargo.
"With the new building, we have further sharpened our qualitative focus on this special product and thus curators and art collectors experience the best storage conditions for their Fine Arts shipments with us," he added.

Lufthansa noted that fine arts shipments will in the future benefit from a special warehouse with modern technical equipment, in which a ventilation system with heating and cooling functions enables targeted temperature control.
It said that vertical window strips on the facade allow natural lighting, which is optimized by a supporting lighting system, and access to the special warehouse is controlled and monitored by sensitive security technology.
"Lufthansa Cargo regularly flies high-value and famous Fine Arts by important artists to renowned exhibitions around the world. With its "Vulnerables" product range, the airline has therefore tailored a special transport solution to the needs of this particular industry, thus guaranteeing security, professional handling, and seamless monitoring for Fine Arts logistics," Lufthansa Cargo said.
The airline explained that the new construction of this special warehouse is part of the modularly planned infrastructure program "LCCevolution" at the Frankfurt home Hub.
It said that the complete modernization of the Lufthansa Cargo Center is scheduled for completion in 2029.
