Fiege Air Cargo Logistics GmbH & Co. KG (FACL) has actively been partnering with Lufthansa Cargo AG since the summer of 2020. By mid-2021, the newly formed company will have taken over the physical handling of cargo in multiple phases for all transit consignments at the Lufthansa Cargo Center (LCC) in Frankfurt within the framework of a long-term contract.
Lufthansa chose to partner with Fiege to consolidate its fulfilment requirements at the LCC. The activities at the LCC in Frankfurt reflect an expansion of Fiege’s business segment. “We developed our idea for modern cargo handling with a strong project team for more than a year and a half, in order to convince Lufthansa Cargo”, Felix Scherberich of Fiege said, he led the project’s core team from the very beginning. Together with Benjamin Looser, Scherberich now makes up the leadership team at FACL which is complemented by the Fiege managers Norman Marian (Operations) and Thomas Rudek (Commercial).
As of July 1 2020, FACL is taking over the operational handling and coordination of standard inbound and outbound consignments at the LCC in Frankfurt in four phases to be concluded by mid-2021. Overall, this totals more than 1m tonnes of cargo per year. The planning and steering of the process flows and the overall responsibility remains in the hands of Lufthansa Cargo. “It is our aim to increase operational quality and to synchronise the logistical flows using cutting-edge IT infrastructures”, Managing Director Benjamin Looser explained.
