Lufthansa Cargo achieved a significant increase in revenues from 2013 to 2014, with yields rocketing from €79m to €100m.
This increase was especially impressive, given that cargo traffic at Lufthansa did not initially meet expectations at the beginning of 2014, despite a slight increase in global demand for air freight. However, a boost in business around Christmas contributed to improved demand towards the end of the year. Peter Gerber, Lufthansa Cargo's CEO, said of the achievement: "We achieved a good result in challenging conditions. A strong focus on top quality, high-performance products and flexible capacity management played a key rôle in this, along with Lufthansa Cargo's strength in sales."
