Lufthansa Cargo has unveiled a new "Emergency" add-on service, enhancing its existing portfolio of customizable services for clients. This new offering is specifically designed for shipments that are extremely time-critical, whether anticipated or unforeseen, and demand the highest level of priority and specialized attention throughout their journey. Examples of cargo that would benefit from this service include urgently required spare parts and essential machinery.
For freight forwarders and operations managers, this new service provides a crucial option for managing shipments with tight deadlines or unforeseen urgency. It offers a premium solution to mitigate risks associated with delays for critical components, potentially reducing downtime for end-users. While likely incurring higher costs, the dedicated handling and priority access could be invaluable for maintaining supply chain continuity in urgent situations.
