The cargo flight was organized by the shipping company Röhlig Deutschland GmbH & Co. KG, which in recent weeks has increasingly used the East German airport as a landing pad for the import of medical goods. Just recently, Hifly Malta was with one A330 Preighter visits Erfurt.
Airport boss Prof. Gerd Stöwer said: "The international airport Erfurt-Weimar is becoming more and more popular with airlines and logistics companies as a professional freight airport, especially for time-critical express freight".
