New facility closer to aircraft speeds up customer deliveries
Lufthansa Cargo has relocated its cargo warehouse inside the gate at Detroit’s main airport to improve operational efficiency and support growing international volumes.
Businesses that move freight with German flag carrier Lufthansa through Detroit will save time and be able to tender a greater variety of specialty products because cargo processing has moved to an airside building from an off-airport location, eliminating the need to shuttle goods by truck.
Avflight, the local airport services operator that handles Lufthansa’s cargo shipments, this month began leasing a 20,000-square-foot former aircraft hangar that was converted into a temporary warehouse and plans to develop a larger, permanent terminal to house its Lufthansa business, the companies announced Tuesday.
