Lufthansa Cargo expands South American network
Cargo airline successfully launches new connection to Natal
Located just a few degrees south of the Equator, Natal is on the north-eastern tip of Brazil and boasts ideal fruit-growing conditions. Thanks to the subtropical climate, there is a large selection of fruit on offer, from papayas, melons, bananas and mangoes through to pineapples. On the import side, Lufthansa Cargo’s new freighter service is supporting the region’s growing automotive sector by transporting parts needed from Europe. “The new connection makes our offering to our customers in Brazil even more attractive”, said Achim Martinka.
The new cargo connection under flight number LH8259 and with a load capacity of some 90 tonnes arrives in Natal from the south, linking it with the Brazilian city of Viracopos, near before continuing on to Dakar and then Frankfurt.
