Airline Struggles With Narrowbody Freighter Economics
Lufthansa Cargo is considering abandoning its Airbus A321 cargo fleet due to operational and economic challenges. The aircraft have been grounded since April, and the airline is exploring options to replace CityLine with a third-party operator. Despite initial assurances that the A321s would resume commercial service, industry experts believe that the aircraft are uneconomical to operate and that Lufthansa Cargo may be looking to exit the narrowbody freighter market. This development was first reported by FreightWaves.
