From October 28th, when the winter schedule goes into effect, Lufthansa Cargo will offer flights to 
300 destinations in 97 countries. The most important addition to the schedule is the new service 
to Tel Aviv, which will connect the city to the cargo airline's global route network for the first time. 
Israel's commercial and financial centre will then be served four times a week with Lufthansa 
Cargo MD-11 freighters, thereof three times via Istanbul.

Lufthansa Cargo is also expanding its services from Egypt. Freighter flights from Cairo to Frankfurt, 
which were reinstated in March of this year, will be continued in the winter schedule. Frequencies 
on this route will be increased to three flights per week. The Frankfurt-Cairo route will 
be served once per week via Istanbul by an MD-11 freighter. The city on the Bosphorus will thus 
be intensively inked to the hub of Europe's largest cargo airline.

Services to the Chinese city of Chongqing, which was included in Lufthansa Cargo's route network 
for the first time last March, will not be continued during the winter period.

'Despite the fact that market conditions are not easy, we are offering our customers new services 
in our winter schedule,' said Dr. Andreas Otto, member of the Lufthansa Cargo Executive Board, 
Product and Sales. 'The new freighter flights to Tel Aviv and Istanbul as well as increased frequencies 
on our route to Cairo will enable us to further strengthen our presence in growth markets 
in the Middle East,' he added.

This winter, Lufthansa Cargo will serve a total of 49 destinations with freighter aircraft.
