Hyderabad: Lufthansa Cargo has recently resumed its scheduled freighter services from Hyderabad International Airport.

Lufthansa Cargo resumed freighter operations after more than a year and will be operating Boeing 777 freighter aircraft connecting Frankfurt-Mumbai-Hyderabad-Frankfurt, a release from GMR Hyderabad International Airport said on Wednesday.

The Lufthansa freighter service resumption would boost cargo connections and benefit the pharmaceutical companies in Hyderabad reaching out to the growing markets in Europe and United States, it said.
