A short-notice strike is currently impacting Lufthansa Cargo, along with Lufthansa, CityLine, and Eurowings, from April 13 to April 14. Capacity is tightening and delays are expected across multiple routes.
What this means for your shipments
Even where flights are operating, cargo movement is slowing down. Handling constraints and temporary embargoes at Frankfurt and Munich are limiting what can be accepted and transited.
You can expect:
Reduced available capacity
Longer transit times
Limited flexibility for rebooking
The impact affects how quickly shipments can move through the system.
