Description

Lufthansa Cargo as we know it today was formed in 1994 when Lufthansa absoarbed the aircraft and operations of its German Cargo subsidiary. The queen of the fleet at that time was the Boeing 747-230. The 747 fleet was a mix of factory-built freighters and converted passenger -230Bs. All aircraft were powered by GE CF6 engines. Beginning in 1998, the 747 was phased out in favor of McDonnell-Douglas MD-11s, with the last Whale retired in 2005.
