Mumbai: Lufthansa Cargo is increasing capacity to India and looking for partnerships with other airlines to grow its share in the fast growing market.
Lufthansa Cargo has 10 per cent share of India's international freight traffic and is seeing 9 per cent growth in the market in 2017, which is higher than its overall 6-7 per cent growth the cargo division is witnessing globally.
It has increased weekly frequency to Mumbai to four from three flights earlier to cater to the growth. "We have a strong presence in India and we expect our market share to increase. India has been among one of our fastest growing markets this year," said Peter Gerber, chief executive officer of Lufthansa Cargo.
In addition to its 10 weekly freighter flights to India covering Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai and Hyderabad, the airline offers belly space on passenger aircraft, which operate to India.
