Lufthansa Cargo and All Nippon Airways Cargo are to expand their joint venture starting from July 12, 2016.

According to Lufthansa, access to the joint venture network will be extended from the airline’s Austrian, Belgian, British, French and German customers to those across the entire European network.

“We are now offering our customers throughout all of Europe even greater flexibility and speed,” said Peter Gerber, CEO and chairman of the executive board at Lufthansa Cargo. “This is another important step with ANA. Our customers also gain time through joint handling at numerous stations.”

The joint network covers more than 90 direct connections per week between Frankfurt, Munich, Düsseldorf, London Heathrow, Paris Charles de Gaulle, Brussels and Vienna in Europe, and Tokyo Narita, Tokyo Haneda, Nagoya, Osaka and Fukuoka in Japan.
