Mar 18, 2008 (newstodate): In 2007, Lufthansa Cargo carried 1.8 million tonnes of freight and mail, up 2.6 percent y-o-y.
Capacity increased by 2.2 percent to 12,236 million freight tonne-kilometres, while sales grew by 4.3 percent to 8,451 million freight tonne-kilometres transported.
The over-all cargo load factor climbed accordingly by 1.4 percentage points to 69.1 percent.
Operating profits increased by 66 percent to 135.6 million euros despite fierce competition and mounting excess capacities in the market. Revenues were down year-on-year by 3.8 percent to 2.74 billion euros.
The Lufthansa Cargo Group sells not only the capacities available in Lufthansa Cargo's own fleet of 19 MD-11 freighters and in the belly holds of around 400 passenger aircraft operated by Lufthansa, but also the capacities on six Boeing 747-400ERF of the Sino-German joint cargo carrier, Jade Cargo International.
