"Every flight with our MD-11 is a pleasure. They are very special aircraft. In appearance, they are so typically characteristic. The cockpit is bright and spacious, and pleasant to work in. Our MD-11 transport the Lufthansa Cargo Spirit round the globe. Sunrise over the Sahara, dusk over the Andes, starlit skies over the steppes, such moments gladden a pilot's heart. While taking account of economic considerations, our focus in flight operations is trained on maintaining the highest possible safety."
