Kuehne+Nagel adds Frankfurt-US to freighter network

[ June 8, 2026   //   ]

Kuehne+Nagel has added a weekly routing from Chicago to Frankfurt and Atlanta to its ‘Inspire’ controlled air freight network, bringing it to the German for the first time.

Frankfurt handles around 2 million tonnes of cargo annually particularly high-value and time-sensitive goods and, like Chicago, it is a major pharmaceutical production and distribution hub.

The route is operated by a Boeing 747-8 freighter on long-term charter from Atlas Air with a capacity of about 140 tonnes.

Other airports on the Inspire network include Liège, Sharjah, and Taipei.
