Towne Air Freight and Lufthansa Cargo announced that they have extended their agreement in which Towne Network Solutions (a wholly owned subsidiary of Towne Air Freight) will continue to provide Lufthansa exclusive Road Feeder Management services for all trucking in the USA and Canada. The agreement will remain in effect through June of 2012.

Towne Network Solutions provides logistical solutions including LTL, specialized equipment and container freight services throughout North America to Lufthansa as well as many other large international and domestic airlines. A comprehensive management product is offered through a combination of Towne Air Freight's extensive, nationwide system as well as a select group of partner providers.

'We are proud to have enjoyed a strong partnership with Lufthansa Cargo since 1997 and the extension of this agreement confirms the benefit both parties realize from our continued association. More and more airlines are looking to outsource their RFS management to a partner that is more than simply a broker. Our knowledge of the trucking industry allows us to provide the value-added service customers like Lufthansa are seeking. We act as an extension of an airline's day to day operation and manage the intricate details of RFS for them,' said Paul Martins, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing for Towne Air Freight.

'After so many years of excellent cooperation it was only natural to extend the partnership. Our strong relationship has proven to benefit both partners in these critical times as all logistics providers have to adjust their service offer to meet the demands for the future. The deep trust and understanding of the partner's needs is what makes this partnership work so well. This is what will help both LCAG and Towne Air Freight to come out of this crisis stronger than before. We look forward to continue our cooperation and offering our customers service on the highest possible performance level,' said Klaus Holler, Vice President 'The Americas' for Lufthansa Cargo.
