Lufthansa Cargo has announced that from July 1 it will be responsible for marketing and selling the airfreight capacity of its Chinese airfreight carrier subsidiary, Jade Cargo International, on routes between Germany, Sweden and Shenzhen.
Jade Cargo International, which is quarter owned by Lufthansa Cargo, offers a weekly service from Shenzhen to Stockholm via Amsterdam, with a direct return flight to Shenzhen. The Shenzhen-Frankfurt-Shenzhen route is operated thrice weekly by Boeing 747-400ER freighters, a statement said.
"Assuming responsibility for Jade Cargo sales in Germany and Scandinavia will enable us to offer our European customers an attractive direct service to the prospering Pearl River Delta in Southeast China," said Dr Andreas Otto, Lufthansa Cargo board member for product and sales.
Jade Cargo International was founded as a joint venture between Lufthansa Cargo, Shenzhen Airlines Company Limited (51 per cent) and DEG Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH (24 per cent). |
