Lufthansa Cargo to Exhibit at Fruit Logistica 2025

Published: Tuesday, January 21, 2025

Lufthansa Cargo will exhibit at Fruit Logistica 2025, held in Berlin from Feb. 5-7, at Hall 25, Booth C-08. The focus will be on sustainable transport solutions for perishable goods.

The airfreight of temperature-sensitive perishables demands precise planning and a customized infrastructure. Lufthansa Cargo, with its globally recognized expertise, ensures reliable compliance with temperature and quality standards along the entire supply chain. As a long-standing partner to the fruit and vegetable industry, the airline offers specialized logistics solutions geared to freshness, speed, and reliability. Utilizing state-of-the-art technology and a global network, Lufthansa Cargo delivers perishable goods safely and on time worldwide. The Perishable Centre at the Frankfurt hub, Europe’s largest temperature-controlled logistics center, plays a pivotal role with 20 different temperature zones and trained staff to prepare a wide range of perishable goods for transport.

Focus on Sustainability

Sustainable transport solutions are a key focus of Lufthansa Cargo’s presentation this year. Since September 2021, customers have been able to choose the “Sustainable Choice” add-on service. This service includes the use of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) to reduce CO2 emissions. Notably, SAF, which is based on waste biomass, has a CO2 footprint that is around 80 percent lower than conventional fossil fuel.

Lufthansa Cargo aims for a neutral CO2 footprint by 2050 and to halve net CO2 emissions by 2030 compared to 2019. This strategy includes using more SAF, investing in a modern fleet, and improving flight operations efficiency. Since 2021, Lufthansa Cargo has converted its long-haul fleet to Boeing 777Fs, the most modern cargo aircraft with the best environmental performance.

Lufthansa Cargo has been an exhibitor at Fruit Logistica since 2013. Visitors are invited to stand C-08 in hall 25 to discuss current topics and trends with airfreight experts.
