More and faster connections, more capacity, flexibility and time saving: these are the benefits available to European customers of Lufthansa Cargo and ANA Cargo as of Aug. 3. Both airlines are expanding their joint venture for freight consignments to routes from Europe to Japan.

Lufthansa Cargo is now offering customers real-time consignment tracking, through the use of GSM (Global System for Mobile communications) transponders.

Lufthansa Cargo has deployed its first Boeing 777 freighter, with a flight to New York.
