Lufthansa hails Schenker partnership

[ July 15, 2020   //   ]

Lufthansa Cargo has presented DB Schenker with an award in recognition of its cooperation with the German-owned forwarder which it said had led to growth in Europe and other important markets, under its Global Partnership Programme.

Lufthansa Cargo chairman Peter Gerberalso played tribute to the push towards digitalisation in the past year.

“The cooperation between DB Schenker and Lufthansa Cargo in 2019 was marked by an outstanding partnership. We are proud that a large share of DB Schenker’s air freight was flown with Lufthansa Cargo last year,” said at Lufthansa Cargo. Both in the area of standard freight as well as special products, the cooperation was particularly close.

Peter Gerber and his colleague, chief commercial officer Dorothea von Boxberg, presented the award to Schenker board member for air and ocean freight, Thorsten Meincke and chief executive Jochen Thewes.

Lufthansa Cargo’s Global Partnership Programme is a central platform for sustainable growth for Lufthansa Cargo and its largest customers. The eleven Global Partners also include Kuehne+Nagel, CEVA, Dachser, DHL Express, DHL Global Forwarding, DSV, Expeditors, Hellmann, Nippon Express and UPS, account for a good third of Lufthansa Cargo’s revenue.
