India is Lufthansas prime focus

Frankfurt: “Our focus in 2007 and later will be on the Asian growth markets, first and foremost China and India”. So says the 2006 annual report of Lufthansa Cargo (LHC) signifying the importance India and its eastern neighbour will carry in the world of international cargo movement in the years to come.
Martin Schlingensiepen, LHC Vice President
denied that there was any agreement with private carrier Jet Airways on cargo movements but said the talks were on with it and other airlines.
According to him there’s a lot of potential in the domestic market which has not been utilised.The restructuring and expansion of 30 non-metro airports will give fillip to domestic cargo movement, he said.
LHC currently operates to six Indian cities, including Bangalore where Baba Aviation is helping it out. Having 65 per cent load capacity out of India, LHC wants to be a major cargo player in India.
