Lufthansa: Operations in Frankfurt is stabilising
29-Dec-2010 The weather situation at Frankfurt Airport has stabilised significantly in the last few days. Lufthansa and Lufthansa Cargo have returned to mostly normal flight operations.
Normal freight delivery is possible with immediate effect.
However the immense shipment backlog at Frankfurt and the reduced winter schedule might still cause interferences. Due to this Lufthansa Cargo is obliged to prolong the following restrictions:
* Operational problems of the service provider FRAPORT might cause isolated offloads and delays in overcoming the shipment backlog.
* The immense shipment backlog in Frankfurt is making it very difficult e.g. to prioritise the extraction of single shipments and additionally to extract cargo from built-up units.
To overcome the shipment backlog in Frankfurt, Lufthansa Cargo is operating extra sections to North America today and tomorrow. More extra sections are planned in the upcoming days.
The status of shipments is available any time in the TrackIT-System.
Lufthansa Cargo deeply regrets any inconvenience caused by delays. Staff at all stations, worldwide, are doing their very utmost to keep inconvenience to customers to the minimum possible.
