A second freighter is expected to enter service in late summer. Both will be operated under a wet lease agreement by Lufthansa CityLine, with Lufthansa Cargo flight numbers. Lufthansa says the twin-engine Airbus A321 is one of the most versatile aircraft in its class, able to carry up to 24 containers or pallets and offering fast loading and unloading times. The initial route network will be centered on Frankfurt and will also cover Manchester, Dublin, Istanbul, Tel Aviv, Malta and Tunis, with Cairo joining the network on March 29. Lufthansa has ordered a fleet of 50 suitable containers but will lease units for the time being. Ashwin Bhat said that further destinations would be added to the network when a second aircraft joins the fleet in August, but these would depend on customer demand. The new aircraft would allow Lufthansa to cater to the fast-growing e-commerce sector partner at McKinsey, Travel, Logistics & Transport Infrastructure, Dr Ludwig Hausmann told the livestream event.
