When an aircraft is grounded, every minute matters.

Behind every engine shipment is a team effort powered by expertise, trust, and seamless collaboration. Our latest Transport Story "Engine Mission" shows how Rolls-Royce plc, Kuehne & Nagel, and Lufthansa Cargo work hand in hand to transport some of the most sensitive and valuable shipments of all.

Learn more about the challenges of these large shipments and remote locations and how everyone from technical specialists to logistics planners and loadability experts works toward one shared goal: getting critical aircraft engines where they are needed, safely, and as quickly as possible.

Engine transportation is about connecting expertise across companies and continents. It's about turning complex challenges into coordinated action. And it's about helping our customers keep their business moving when every hour counts.

Three partners. One mission. No limits.

When carry-on isn't an option.

Germany's autumn school holidays are under way, and airports are filling up with travelers, suitcases, and carry-ons.

But some cargo simply won't fit in the overhead compartment. An aircraft engine, for example. Maindeck capacity comes in handy in this case.😉

Moving these high-value heavyweights also requires a little more planning than finding space in an overhead bin. Watch this space. We'll soon take you behind the scenes of aircraft engine logistics and show you how these giants get airborne.

Connecting continents, changing lives: Three extraordinary animal journeys

At Lufthansa Cargo, transporting live animals is part of our daily business. Every shipment receives the same high standards of care, expertise, and attention. Yet some transports are particularly special because they help give animals a second chance, support conservation efforts, or bring species together for the future.

Over the past few weeks, we have transported a variety of animals around the world on behalf of our trusted customers and partners:

🦁 A new beginning for BenTzur and Ori
After being rescued from illegal captivity in Israel, young lions BenTzur and Ori embarked on a life-changing journey to the ADI Wildlife Sanctuary in South Africa. Together with wildlife authorities, Animal Defenders International, and Bivas Bros Ltd., we helped give them a second chance and a safe place to call home.

🐾 Flynn the red panda heads to Scotland
Flynn traveled from Neuwied Zoo via Frankfurt to Edinburgh Zoo, where he joins an international conservation program. A new companion was already waiting to welcome him to his new home. Thanks to AnimalLogistics FRA GmbH for yet another animal journey we completed together.

🐯 Nine tigers, one extraordinary mission
Together with Intermodal Logistics, we flew nine tigers rescued by global animal welfare organisation FOUR PAWS from the former Zoo Luján in Argentina to South Africa. At the Lionsrock Big Cat Sanctuary and Lodge, a new chapter of lifelong care and protection has begun.

For our customers, trust is everything. We are proud that they continue to rely on our expertise in live animal transportation and on our global network, specialized handling capabilities, and experienced teams. All animals spent their transit in our Animal Lounge in Frankfurt.

A heartfelt thank you to all customers, partners, and colleagues who made these special missions possible. ❤️

If these stories have inspired you, we encourage you to learn more about the animal welfare organizations and sanctuaries behind them. Their dedication makes a real difference, and they are always grateful for any support they receive.

Together, we proved that every step can make a difference. Through sport, commitment, and teamwork, we supported Cargo Human Care and its Vocational Training Center project while bringing people together across borders and cultures.

The impact at a glance
This year's event exceeded all expectations:
• 2,568 participants registered worldwide

• Participants ran in 53 countries across the globe
• More than 30 Lufthansa Cargo stations organized local running events

These impressive numbers reflect a shared commitment to making a positive impact and demonstrate the strength of our global cargo community.

A heartfelt Thank You 🙏
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who made this initiative such a remarkable success. Our gratitude goes to every participant who laced up their running shoes and joined the cause, as well as to our many sponsors and supporters for their generous contributions.

We would like to recognize all our partner and customer companies who joined us, especially Courier Network (CNW), whose outstanding commitment resulted in more than 600 registrations. Our sincere thanks also go to the team in Nairobi for organizing a wonderful event together with the children of Mothers' Mercy Home, and to the Ricarda-Huch School Dreieich, where more than 150 students participated in support of young people in Kenya.

Together, we ran for something bigger than ourselves. We built connections, created opportunities, and contributed to a meaningful cause. ✨

We look forward to seeing what we can achieve together next year.

🐅 A tiger’s tale: From war-torn Ukraine to South African skies

Last month, we had the privilege of transporting Mir, a rescued tiger, from Brussels via Frankfurt to his new home in South Africa.

Mir’s story is one of resilience. Once kept as a pet in a private garden in Ukraine, he was left behind when his owner was forced to flee the country because of the war. In April 2023, Mir was brought to the Wild Animal Rescue Center near Kyiv, where dedicated teams cared for him under increasingly difficult conditions. Harsh winters, power shortages, and extreme cold made the situation even more challenging.

When Belgium’s Natuurhulpcentrum Opglabbeek Oudsbergen learned about Mir’s situation, they immediately stepped in to help. The center specializes in the rescue and temporary care of exotic animals, providing expert treatment and a safe environment until a long-term home can be found. Over the years, it has built both the infrastructure and expertise needed to give animals like Mir a second chance.

That second chance was ultimately found thousands of kilometers away at the Isindile Big Cat & Predator Sanctuary in South Africa. There, Mir can finally begin a new chapter surrounded by expert care, wide space, and the conditions he deserves.

We are proud to have been chosen for Mir’s journey to Africa. During his transit, he stayed at our Animal Lounge in Frankfurt, where animals receive professional care in a safe and calm environment – whether they are arriving, departing, or connecting to their next destination.

Our colleagues were deeply moved by his story. As he departed for South Africa on LH572, they sent him off with heartfelt wishes for the future.

Every rescued animal deserves a second chance. If you would like to support organizations that rescue, rehabilitate, and protect wildlife, consider donating, volunteering, or helping raise awareness. Even small actions can make a meaningful difference. Visit the websites of Natuurhulpcentrum Oudsbergen (https://www.natuurhulpcentrum.be/) and Isindile Big Cat & Predator Sanctuary (https://www.isindilesanctuary.org.za/) to learn how you can support their important work.

A special thank you goes to the two rescue centers and FlyFauna, the Belgium-based specialist for international animal airfreight, as well as everyone involved in making this mission possible. We are proud to contribute our expertise to initiatives that give rescued animals a second chance. Because moving cargo is about more than connecting markets – it is also about connecting lives and creating brighter futures.

All the best, Mir. May your next adventure be your best one yet. 🧡

🌎 🧑‍🎨 When art travels the world, trust matters.
In 2024, the collection of the Museum Berggruen travelled the world. Read more in our transport story on our website.

This year, we are proud to have been chosen once again to transport these modern masterworks – this time across the Atlantic to the United States.
The exhibition opened on May 20, and art lovers can now experience “Picasso–Klee–Matisse: Masterpieces from the Museum Berggruen” at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. The exhibition offers a rare U.S. debut of an important German collection, featuring more than 95 paintings, watercolors, drawings, and sculptures on loan from Museum Berggruen, Berlin.
Handled with care by our specialized teams, every piece arrived safe and sound – because transporting art is about more than logistics. It’s about protecting cultural value, trust, and heritage.

A sincere thank you to and for their continued confidence in Lufthansa Cargo. Together, we’re not just moving shipments – we’re making culture accessible worldwide. ✈️🖼️
