On Thursday (August 21, 2025), Lufthansa Cargo announced the publication of their winter 2025/26 schedule, offering flexible transport solutions via Frankfurt, as well as a wide range of routing options via their hubs in Munich, Vienna, Brussels and Rome-Fiumicino (FCO).  With the successful expansion of cooperation with ITA Airways, Lufthansa Cargo will also market most of ITA Airways' belly capacities on continental and intercontinental routes under their own AWB number from the end of October.

In Thursday’s announcement, Lufthansa Cargo’s CEO, Ashwin Bhat, said,

“Our winter flight schedule clearly demonstrates that ‘Enabling Global Business’ is not just our purpose, but something we embody every day at Lufthansa Cargo. By marketing additional belly capacities from ITA Airways and strengthening our belly network, as well as offering an even broader freighter flight schedule, we can provide our customers with more connections than before.  Nevertheless, we continue to review our network on an ongoing basis, remaining in close dialogue with our customers so that we can continue to provide flexible and reliable transport solutions and respond to changing trade flows.”

Lufthansa Cargo’s winter schedule will also include increased frequencies and new destinations.  Austrian Airlines will expand their service from Vienna (VIE) to Bangkok (BKK), offering up to two daily connections.  Additionally, Brussels Airlines will expand their network to African destinations including Lomé (LFW, Togo), Dakar (DSS, Senegal), Conakry (CKY, Guinea), Monrovia (ROB, Liberia), Accra (ACC, Ghana) and Freetown (FNA, Sierra Leone), offering additional weekly connections. The Lufthansa Group’s schedule will also include new service by Discover Airlines between Frankfurt (FRA) and the Seychelles (SEZ).

Almaty (ALA) will again be added to the range of cargo destinations in Central Asia this winter, while the transpacific flight from Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) to Los Angeles (LAX) will now have a stopover in Shanghai (PVG). Freight customers now have access to up to 50 weekly frequencies to the Asia-Pacific region, with services to 17 destinations in Asia. The carrier also offers reliable transport solutions to North America with 28 weekly services to 11 destinations.  Lufthansa cargo will also offer four weekly services to four destinations in South America.

This winter, customers can book up to 37 weekly flights to 20 destinations in Europe, the Middle East and Africa from the Frankfurt and Munich hubs for fast transport on short and medium-haul routes.  The carrier’s Airbus A321F network has also recently been strengthened by the opening of the cargo station in Beirut (BEY) at the beginning of July.

Lufthansa Cargo’s winter 2025/26 flight schedule will come into effect on October 26, 2025 and will be available for booking starting October 5, 2025.  In addition to their own freighter services to 53 destinations, Lufthansa Cargo also markets additional capacity of up to 7,500 flights per week to over 350 destinations, operated by Lufthansa Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Brussels Airlines, Discover Airlines, ITA Airways and SunExpress.
