LanChile Strengthens Its Cargo Business at Frankfurt Airport

Frankfurt, Germany (ots) - LanChile Cargo inaugurated freighter service between Germany and South America today. In connection with this new service, the Chilean airline has moved its European headquarters from Paris to Frankfurt and contracted Fraport AG's Aviation Ground Services and Logistics division as its new ground-handling partner at Frankfurt Airport.

Using Boeing 767F all-cargo aircraft, LanChile Cargo will offer three weekly flights from Frankfurt via Miami to South American capitals such as Asunción, Buenos Aires, Montevideo and, of course, Santiago de Chile. Previously, the airline served the European market via Paris with two weekly freighter flights.

Cooperation with Lufthansa Cargo on the routes between Frankfurt and South America, allows LanChile Cargo to offer additional freighter space. Vice versa, Lufthansa uses cargo capacities of the Chilean carrier.
