Since the beginning of June, Lufthansa Cargo customers have been benefiting from new belly capacities on new connections from Frankfurt, like Minneapolis (MSP) and Raleigh-Durham (RDU).

From the Lufthansa Cargo hub in Munich, new connections to Seattle (SEA) three times a week and daily capacity to Toronto (YYZ) and Vancouver (YVR) will also be offered with immediate effect.

In a statement, Lufthansa Cargo noted that Austrian Airlines is also connecting Vienna with Los Angeles (LAX). Discover Airlines flies from Frankfurt to Halifax (YHZ) and Anchorage (ANC).

The cargo carrier announced a new main deck capacity on the B777F Freighter from Dubai (DWC) to Frankfurt (FRA).

It said that it now offers freighter capacity to Dubai World Central (DWC) — which has been opened for inbound and outbound cargo and is available to customers twice a week in addition to the belly service from Dubai International Airport (DXB).

"This gives customers more options, e.g. for handling larger cargo items or special freight. Both airports are connected via truck services," Lufthansa Cargo said.

It noted that a total of 83 weekly B777F frequencies to 40 destinations worldwide, 19 A321F destinations, and belly capacities on up to 7,000 weekly Lufthansa Group flights worldwide are available.
