Lufthansa Cargo is currently in the process of constructing a new warehouse in Frankfurt. This new facility will provide enhanced capabilities and services to better serve their customers. With work already underway, the project is expected to be completed in a timely manner. Lufthansa Cargo is committed to providing top-notch logistics services, and this new warehouse is just one example of their dedication to excellence. As a leading provider in the industry, Lufthansa Cargo continues to invest in their infrastructure to meet the ever-changing needs of their customers and the global market.
Lufthansa Cargo is set to undergo a major redevelopment of its Frankfurt hub as part of its LCCevolution project. The project, which started in August, will include the construction of a new high-bay warehouse with an automated transport system and new building modules in the north of the airport.
Project Details
The first parts of the automated transport system and the construction of the first two building modules are expected to be completed between 2023 and 2027. The cargo business will spend €500m on the project, which is scheduled for completion by 2030 and will cover 70,000 sq m.
The project is aimed at upgrading and modernizing Lufthansa Cargo's existing buildings and warehouses. This will be carried out in a modular approach, rather than developing a new building altogether. The airline has assured its customers that it does not expect any disruption to operations during the construction phase.
Operational Impact
Dietmar Focke, Lufthansa Cargo's Chief Operations Officer, highlighted the challenge of implementing a complex construction project while ensuring regular operation of the hub is guaranteed 24/7. However, he expressed confidence in the gradual improvement of the hub as new elements are put into function.
The Frankfurt hub plays a decisive role in the operational success of Lufthansa Cargo, with a throughput share of around 80 percent of its global cargo volume. The redevelopment will result in faster handling speeds, easier transport processes, and an improvement in service quality for customers.
Partners
Ed. Züblin and BLEICHERT Automation will contribute to the construction of the high-bay warehouse, while io-consultants will carry out planning for the logistics systems of the large-scale project. The contract was signed by all partners on November 21 at Frankfurt Airport.
Summary
The LCCevolution project is a long-term investment by Lufthansa Cargo to remain competitive and meet the evolving needs of its customers. The company's commitment to upgrade its infrastructure demonstrates its dedication to providing world-class service to its customers.
