Fiege Air Cargo Logistics has announced it will take over the operative handling and coordination of inbound and outbound standard shipments at Lufthansa Cargo Centre (LLC) in Frankfurt in several phases until mid-2021. The physical cargo handling processes in the LCC had already been largely outsourced to various external service providers for many years.
In the course of digitalisation, the process landscape in LCC was standardised across the board and consistently aligned with the material flow.
“Our future partner contributes additional expertise in the area of digitalisation as well as efficient design and implementation of warehouse processes. At the same time, the new cooperation model will reduce the number of direct interfaces for Lufthansa Cargo, enabling us to make optimum use of the advantages of digitisation. Fiege Air Cargo Logistics will be an important partner for us in all aspects of physical handling at the Frankfurt hub,” said Dr Mohammad Ali Seiraffi, Lufthansa Cargo Vice President Handling Frankfurt and Head of the LCC.
The planning and control of the cargo processes as well as the overall responsibility for the processes will remain in the hands of Lufthansa Cargo. The new cooperation will not result in any changes for the cargo airline’s customers. Felix Scherberich and Benjamin Looser are responsible for the newly founded company of the Fiege Group as managing directors.
