Lufthansa Cargo will begin offering more capacity in its medium-haul network on specially converted Airbus A321 freighters in October 2022. In March 2022, the first freight flight of its sort took launched from Frankfurt to Dublin. Because of the good market reaction and ongoing high demand from the eCommerce and Same-Day sectors, the second aircraft of this kind will join the scheduled operation in October.
The second A321F, registered D-AEUA, is now being converted in Singapore. The twin-engine, technologically sophisticated narrow-body aircraft is both powerful and fuel-efficient. It has the same design as the first A321 freighter (D-AEUC, ‘Hello Europe’) and can carry 28 tonnes of cargo on 14 pallets and container slots on the main deck and 10 on the lower deck. Lufthansa Cargo can continue to expand its footprint in the fast-growing eCommerce industry by providing well-known quality service and products.
Similar to the first A321F, the second aircraft will also be based at the Frankfurt hub and operated by Lufthansa CityLine under the wet lease agreement. Both A321Fs will operate under Lufthansa Cargo flight numbers. As a Group company, Lufthansa CityLine has worked intensively in recent months on the technical and operational preparation of the first two converted aircraft of this type in Germany. The new destinations in the intra-European network include Birmingham (BHX), London (LHR) and Madrid (MAD). The existing destinations Istanbul (IST), Tel Aviv (TLV), Malta (MLA), Tunis (TUN), Dublin (DUB), Manchester (MAN) and Cairo (CAI) will continue to be served, while Istanbul and Tel Aviv will see additional frequencies.
