"We are happy to continue our cooperation with Croatia Airlines and to reach even more synergies with our Lufthansa Cargo network..."

Frankfurt, 15 September 2009 -- Lufthansa Cargo and the national Croatian carrier Croatia Airlines (OU) have decided to continue their successful cooperation that started already in January 2007. Effective September 15th, 2009, the Cargo Management of Croatia Airlines flights to Croatia, e.g. Handling, Sales and Accounting, will be provided by Lufthansa Cargo􀁧s local offices.

Lufthansa Cargo will be responsible for flights from Germany and Europe to Croatia, while Croatia Airlines will continue marketing their flights out of Croatia themselves. Shipments marketed by Lufthansa Cargo will be booked and handled as Lufthansa Cargo-shipments. Croatia Airlines offers flights from Zagreb to/from various German and European cities like Frankfurt, Munich, Amsterdam, Copenhagen, Barcelona, Brussels, Paris and London.

We are happy to continue our cooperation with Croatia Airlines and to reach even more synergies with our Lufthansa Cargo network by offering our worldwide sales offices additional capacities to Zagreb, Split and Dubrovnik and from there to cities like Pristina, Skopje and Sarajevo, J. Florian Pfaff, Area Manager Europe/Africa of Lufthansa Cargo, says. Boris Kolka, Sales Director of Croatia Airlines, adds -- I am looking forward to our cooperation with Lufthansa Cargo that will make Croatia as a cargo destination more easily accessible to our clients all over the world.
