Lufthansa Cargo has begun marketing the belly cargo capacity of Brussels Airlines’ flights from September 1, 2018.

According to Lufthansa Cargo, the maximum pre-booking period is 30 days. The freight booked in this way flies on Lufthansa Cargo air waybill, with the AWB prefix 020.

“Thanks to the close cooperation between Brussels Airlines and Lufthansa Cargo, our customers benefit from numerous new connections and destinations,” said Dorothea von Boxberg, member of the executive board responsible for product and sales at Lufthansa Cargo. “We are very pleased that our worldwide network is thus becoming even more comprehensive and stronger.”

The new cooperation agreement gives Brussels Airlines Cargo customers access to Lufthansa Cargo’s worldwide route network with approximately 300 destinations in over 100 countries. Lufthansa Cargo will also gain access to the belly space of 10 widebody and 43 narrowbody aircraft, and be able to expand its network, including 15 direct destinations from Brussels: Abidjan, Accra, Banjul, Bujumbura, Conakry, Cotonou, Douala, Entebbe, Freetown, Kigali, Kinshasa, Lomé, Monrovia, Ouagadougou and Yaoundé.

“Our close cooperation with Lufthansa Cargo results in a real win-win situation for both companies and our customers,” said Reinout Puissant, global platform manager at Brussels Airlines Cargo. “As Africa specialist, we add new destinations to the portfolio of Lufthansa Cargo and from a Brussels Airlines perspective, we can now make even better use of our freight capacity.”

Lufthansa Cargo now markets the freight capacities of Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Eurowings, Lufthansa and SunExpress.
