LH to start new EU-Aust service

Lufthansa Cargo is launching its new multimodal AirShip service from Europe to several Australian destinations on January 1.   Shipments flown daily from Europe to Shenzhen and Hong Kong can in future be shipped-on from there by sea to the Australian metropolises of Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney.   Fast and seamless transition of cargo shipments from aircraft to ship is guaranteed by new AirShip Centres in Shenzhen and Hong Kong, Lufthansa said in a statement.   Transport from start-to-finish will be operated under a single air waybill number.   Cargo shipments currently take between six and eight weeks on the sea route from Europe to Asia.   The AirShip service reduces transit time for Lufthansa Cargo customers substantially to between 14 and 18 days. With the multimodal transport solution, they profit additionally from lower costs for tied-up capital and insurance.   CargoNewsAsia
