With
a cargo load factor of 69.7 percent (2013: 69.9 percent) Lufthansa
Cargo says it transported more than 1.7 million tons of freight
and mail in 2014, posting a slight year-on-year decline of -2.7
percent.
“Competition in the market was
very fierce again last year,” said Chairman of the Executive
Board and CEO of Lufthansa Cargo Peter Gerber.
Gerber’s forecast for the coming
year is cautiously optimistic:
“A new IT system for cargo handling
is being rolled out world-wide, marketing of lucrative express products
further reinforced, and preparations for the new air freight terminal
in Frankfurt, LCCneo, are in full swing,” he said. |
