About Lufthansa Cargo
Lufthansa Cargo operates from Frankfurt, Europe's busiest cargo airport, combining a freighter fleet with belly capacity across the wider Lufthansa Group. It sells under named products — td.Flash, td.Pro and td.Basic — and the product chosen determines how quickly a consignment moves through the hub.
Worth knowing: Lufthansa's milestone reporting is among the most granular in air freight — you often see separate handling events inside the Frankfurt hub, which can look like extra steps but is simply better visibility.
What you see when tracking Lufthansa Cargo cargo
Air cargo reports against standard IATA milestones rather than the continuous scanning you get from a courier: received from shipper (RCS), manifested (MAN), departed (DEP), arrived (ARR), received from flight (RCF) and delivered (DLV). Shyppy plots those on a map and timeline, tells you which flight the consignment is on, and emails you when the next milestone lands or the arrival estimate moves.
Common questions
What is the Lufthansa Cargo AWB prefix?
020. Every Lufthansa Cargo air waybill begins with these three digits, followed by an eight-digit serial number whose final digit is a check digit — so a mistyped AWB can be spotted before you look it up.
What does Lufthansa Cargo carry?
Time-critical and high-value cargo, live animals, and one of the largest pharma handling operations in Europe. Its fleet is boeing 777 freighters plus group-wide bellyhold capacity, operating europe to North America and Asia through Frankfurt, with Munich as a secondary gateway.
Why is my Lufthansa Cargo shipment routed through Frankfurt?
Lufthansa's milestone reporting is among the most granular in air freight — you often see separate handling events inside the Frankfurt hub, which can look like extra steps but is simply better visibility.
Can I get alerts on Lufthansa Cargo shipments?
Yes. Shyppy emails you when a milestone lands — received from shipper, manifested, departed, arrived, received from flight, delivered — and when the estimated arrival changes.
