3 July 2024, flight LH8443, which was carried by Lufthansa Cargo AG, took off from Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport and headed for Frankfurt, Germany, marking the official opening of the " Shenzhen - Frankfurt" cargo route.

This route is operated by B777F all cargo aircraft, and it is planned to operate twice a week, which greatly enhances the transportation capacity between the two places.

It is understood that Frankfurt is the most important aviation logistics hub in Germany and even in Europe. Lufthansa Cargo has successively opened international freighter routes from its stations in China to Frankfurt, continuously serving the cargo movement, economic and trade cooperation between China and Europe. The connection of "Shenzhen-Frankfurt " route not only integrates the logistics advantages at both ends, but also further promotes the logistics market at two important cargo markets.

Shenzhen Airport cooperates with airport customs and ICCS to deploy security work in advance. Among them, ICCS gives full play to the experience advantages of ground operation support, and closely cooperates with the operational needs of Lufthansa Cargo  to train relevant personnel in advance; In order to ensure the smooth sailing of the " Shenzhen - Frankfurt, " route, the early information transmission, personnel were arranged in full detail, with high-quality and efficient air cargo ground operation services.

"In the Chinese market, we continue to see high demand especially to Europe. Accordingly, additional air freight capacity is needed to transport goods quickly, compliantly and safely. With the expansion of our Asian network, we can now serve even more important freight destinations in China for our customers. This will be possible thanks to the new B777F freighter, which we expect to receive in the course of this summer. This will not only mean enabling global business for our customers in a sustainably way, but also growing as a company in an important cargo region" explains Ashwin Bhat, CEO of Lufthansa Cargo.

The opening of this route has further improved the international freight route network of Shenzhen Airport, and increased the important flexible capacity for the rapid and direct transportation of import and export goods. ICCS will also continue to strengthen cooperation with major airlines and actively expand the international freight market.

In the future, ICCS will continue to take customers as the core and provide customers with more outstanding cargo handling services; We will make full use of the location advantages of the Pearl River Delta, give play to the role of hub platform and radiation-driven function, and realize the high-quality coordinated development of air freight in order to help the export-oriented economy in the Pearl River Delta region.
