LUFTHANSA Cargo has extended its contract with vienna Airport for cargo handling services until the end of 2028, according to Singapore's Payload Asia.
Lufthansa Cargo has relied on cargo handling services at the Austrian capital airport since 2010. In addition to general cargo and mail, temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical shipments and hazardous goods, in particular, are routed via Vienna.
The cargo airline currently connects Vienna Airport with over 1,000 weekly flights to 127 destinations in Asia, Africa, Europe, and North America. Lufthansa Cargo, therefore, utilizes Austrian Airlines' cargo space. The location is also used as a hub for a comprehensive network of road feeder services, primarily to the CEE region.
'Vienna Airport offers a high level of quality not only in passenger and baggage services, but also in cargo handling. We are therefore pleased that we can gain the trust of Lufthansa Cargo and continue our good cooperation for the next five years. With efficient handling processes, fast turnaround times and a broad range of services, we are well positioned in the cargo sector and see high growth potential, especially with our Pharma Handling Centre,' explains Julian Jager, joint CEO and COO of Vienna Airport.
'Vienna Airport is an efficient east-west hub with fast turnaround times. This makes it one of our most important hubs in Europe. The handling service includes 24/7 customer service, monitoring, and weekly quality checks,' says Theresa Schlederer, director Austria at Lufthansa Cargo AG.
Within the Lufthansa network, Vienna Airport is both the most punctual hub and the hub with the fastest handling and transit times. Warehouses and truck ramps provide fast and direct access to Vienna Airport's dense road feeder network, which enables twenty-three countries to be reached in just 36 hours.
'With a tonnage share of almost 40 per cent in 2023, Lufthansa Cargo is Vienna Airport's largest customer. The contract extension is therefore of great importance and, together with the top results for handling speed and efficiency, is a confirmation of our quality and a clear signal to the market,' says Michael Zach, head of handling services at Flughafen Wien AG.
