Lufthansa Cargo increases Airfreight Surcharge to 0.60 USD per kg
The sum of cost components in our airfreight surcharge has increased in the past weeks. Consequently, Lufthansa Cargo is increasing its Airfreight Surcharge, effective March 4th, 2024, from 0.55 to 0.60 USD per kg chargeable freight weight. Please note, the latest acceptance time (LAT) of the booked/confirmed flight, not the AWB issue date, determines the applicable Airfreight Surcharge.
