About Lufthansa
Lufthansa Cargo AG is the freight airline of the Lufthansa Group and one of the largest air cargo carriers in the world by cargo tonne-kilometres. The company traces its origin to German Cargo Services GmbH, founded in 1977 to handle Lufthansa's charter and logistics freight. The present company was established on 30 November 1994 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Deutsche Lufthansa AG and began operating as a legally independent unit at the start of 1995. It uses the IATA code LH and the distinct ICAO code GEC, with the callsign Lufthansa Cargo, and is headquartered on the Lufthansa Cargo Campus at Frankfurt Airport.
The carrier's main hub is Frankfurt Airport (FRA), one of Europe's busiest freight gateways, from where the long-haul freighter network fans out to the Americas, Asia and the Middle East. Its main-deck fleet is built around roughly 12 Boeing 777F aircraft, complemented by 4 Airbus A321-200 P2F converted freighters that run short and medium-haul European feeder routes. In June 2024 Lufthansa Cargo added freighter services from Munich Airport (MUC). Alongside its own freighters, it markets belly-hold capacity on around 350 passenger aircraft across the Lufthansa Group, combining dedicated main-deck and belly lift.
Lufthansa Cargo holds a 50 percent stake in AeroLogic, a joint venture with DHL Express formed in 2007 and based at Leipzig/Halle Airport (LEJ), which operates a further six Boeing 777F freighters shared between express and general cargo duties. The airline has ordered seven Boeing 777-8F next-generation freighters, with deliveries scheduled from 2027 to renew and expand main-deck capacity. Its specialisations include time-critical and temperature-controlled pharmaceutical shipments, live animals, dangerous goods, valuables and general palletised freight, marketed through dedicated product lines and served from a modernised Frankfurt handling facility.

Why isn't my Lufthansa air cargo updating?
Lufthansa tracking reflects what the carrier and flight feeds have reported, so there is often a lag between a real-world move and the update. Panvaya refreshes on a regular cycle; a shipment that looks stuck usually just means the next milestone (such as uplift or arrival) hasn't been filed yet.
How accurate is the ETA for Lufthansa shipments?
Panvaya combines Lufthansa's schedule with live flight position and historical performance to predict arrival, and refines the ETA as the journey progresses and conditions change. It is a continuously updated estimate, not a guarantee.
