The Boeing 777 with the registration OE-LPA has served as a "makeshift freighter" since March 2020. Austrian Airlines has already brought many masks, protective gowns and rapid tests to Austria with this machine. Now the Lufthansa subsidiary is celebrating cargo flight number 100.
At the same time, the cooperation with the sister company Time Matters will be intensified. Freight orders have been coordinated via this subsidiary of Lufthansa Cargo since March 2020. Now the OE-LPA stickers have been affixed in the rear area, indicating the cooperation.
Boeing B767 and B777 machines with built-in seats and the so-called B777 “Preighter” were used on these AUA cargo flights in order to increase the volume for cargo transports. Aviation Direct has what it looks like inside the OE-LPA with this link documented photographically.
"I am very pleased that we can do something good through the strong partnership with Time Matters - especially with the team of freight experts in Vienna - and that we are helping to contain the pandemic with our joint airlift", said AUA boss Alexis von Hoensbroech on the occasion of the Anniversary flight.
Time Matters CEO Alexander Kohnen adds: “We want to further deepen our cooperation with Austrian Airlines and are working on adding additional freight connections. I think it's great that we can forge further plans for the future by expanding our cooperation on this special occasion ”.
