Transit Embargo: Handling situation of Lufthansa Cargo in Frankfurt

Currently, the airline partner of DACHSER, Lufthansa Cargo, in Frankfurt is facing operational disruptions due to COVID-19 related staff limitations. The following measures have therefore been taken:

As of Wednesday, January 26, 2022, there will be a transit embargo at Lufthansa Cargo in Frankfurt for shipments from North America and Europe.

  • Exemptions from the transit embargo are to be made for BUP (Built Unitization Program), BXO (Emergency Solutions) and VAL (valuable cargo). 
  • Freight that has already been accepted by Lufthansa will be dispatched as soon as possible. 
  • Freight that has not yet been delivered can unfortunately no longer be accepted by Lufthansa.
  • DACHSER therefore refrains from booking and cargo planning of relevant transit shipments via Frankfurt for the Lufthansa network until further notice.

Shipments intend for destination Frankfurt are currently still be planned and booked with Lufthansa.

Transit shipments either have to be rerouted via other airlines and handling partners for the meantime or, owing to DACHSER’s integrated network capabilities, can be seamlessly connected from the Airfreight Gateway Frankfurt to the network of DACHSER Road Logistics for swift onforwarding all over Europe to their final destination. 

By having linked the business fields DACHSER Road Logistics and DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics, DACHSER can not only provide integrated and efficient supply chain management solutions but also respond immediately to this very exceptional situation. 

The development at Lufthansa indicates that further restrictions in operational handling might be temporarily expected in Frankfurt and other locations.

Local representatives at DACHSER will be happy to provide information about shipments and possible alternatives.

Latest update on DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics operations

With this update DACHSER would like to inform about the current DACHSER Air & Sea Logistics operations across the regions APAC, EMEA and Americas. In the attached document (see download below) it is listed whether a country organization of DACHSER is operational or, if only limited or not at all, why this is the case. Since the situation in the countries may change rapidly, the attached document will be updated on a regular basis and published on our website.

We sincerely regret any inconveniences caused to our customers due to the pandemic. At DACHSER, we have contingency measures in place and will offer our customers the best alternative solutions to keep the supply chain running. Anyhow, the situation at ports, airports or customs authorities might cause delays. Furthermore, the capacity situation on the global airfreight market is very tense as there are basically no passenger flights operating at the moment.

At the same time, DACHSER has installed strict hygiene measures (e.g. home office) to ensure a safe working environment and to do our part in stopping the spread of the virus. DACHSER is trying to keep the impact of these measures as low as possible, however, together with the official measures by the governments, the precautions may lead to some delays in the operations.

In case of any questions and/or queries, please feel free to contact your local DACHSER representative.
