It is expected that starting from December, ANA flights from Tokyo Haneda to Fukouka Airport will be able to be booked via both partners’ booking systems. Carsten Wirths, Area Manager Europe and Africa, Lufthansa Cargo said of the agreement, “Thanks to the Joint Venture we can connect the wide European network of Lufthansa Cargo, with the direct connection of both partners to Japan and the continental de-feeder flights of ANA.”
