Our "Figures and Trends" segment provides you with an updated forecast on the global development in imports and exports – regardless of whether these are processed by road, by sea or by air. In addition, we once again focus our attention on Europe and the growth prognoses concerning airfreight in this particular transport region.

In our station portrait we take a closer look at Cairo, a destination that has undergone an extremely favorable development from Lufthansa Cargo's perspective despite the turbulent political situation. We would also like to inform you about the Air Cargo Innovation Challenge that we have initiated for the second time and show you our new corporate film. You can look forward to a stunning array of images of our cargo carriers at our main hub in Frankfurt!
 
In my column "From my perspective," I would like to personally provide you with some background information on our capacity management during volatile times, on the up-and-coming peak season and on product highlights that have been launched as part of our market offensive for 2013.

Please take this opportunity to get in touch with me personally with your questions and statements. Simply send an email to andreas.otto@dlh.de. Thank you for taking the time to participate!

Kind regards,
Dr. Andreas Otto
