After a 10-hour delivery flight, Lufthansa Cargo was able to take over its ninth Boeing 29-F in Frankfurt on September 2020, 777. The machine, registered on D-ALFI and named “Buenos días México”, will in future transport up to 103 tons within the airline's freight network.

“Air freight secures important supply routes, especially in acute crises, and thus makes a fundamental contribution to the global economy. Mastering short-term global challenges is one of our core competencies, countering long-term global challenges is our responsibility. With our new fleet we are underlining our claim to actively and sustainably combine economic and ecological efficiency, ”said Peter Gerber, CEO of Lufthansa Cargo, at the handover of“ Fox India ”.

In addition to the nine Boeing 777-Fs, Lufthansa Cargo's fleet currently also includes six McDonnell Douglas MD-11Fs, but these will be retired in the foreseeable future, three of them this year. Four more Boeing 777-Fs are also being marketed through a joint venture with AeroLogic. With a turnover of 2,5 billion euros and a transport performance of 8,9 billion freight tonne kilometers in 2019, Lufthansa Cargo is one of the world's leading companies in the transport of air freight
