United Airlines (UAL) and Lufthansa Cargo have signed a joint venture (JV) agreement for extensive cargo co-operation on routes between the US and Europe.
The JV partners plan to provide a wide range of benefits to customers by co-operating on the availability of their capacity and aligning booking and handling processes.
The combined route network will provide greater flexibility and time savings to customers, with thousands of new route combinations and more than 600 direct connections per week between the US and Europe. It also creates access from either partner’s booking channels along with co-ordinated handling processes and transfers at numerous stations.
