Lufthansa adds third cargo flight from Dallas-Fort Worth

Lufthansa adds third cargo flight from Dallas-Fort Worth Lufthansa Cargo has added a third weekly cargo flight from Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to Frankfurt, Germany, building on the carrier’s 14 percent growth in import and export volumes during 2006.
   “The very strong North Texas economy is fueling the market, and robust cargo growth is bringing DFW more international service and opportunities for expansion,” said Joe Lopano, the airport’s executive vice president of marketing and terminal management, in a statement.
   Lufthansa will fly the added non-stop route between Frankfurt and DFW each Wednesday, using an MD-11 freighter with capacity for about 85 tons of cargo. This flight will complement the German airline’s existing freighter flights from DFW on Friday and Sunday.
   During the past year, DFW has seen significant European market growth. In addition to Lufthansa’s new flight, there are now non-stop flights to Paris and Brussels on Air France Cargo and Singapore Cargo.
