Lufthansa Cargo has adopted a four-part strategy to expand market share in southern China and Taiwan.
Felix Keck, regional sales manager, said the plan included efforts to attract additional high-yield cargo and the introduction of more time-definite products.
It would also offer improved services through its quality-certified processing representatives and general service agents, and work with forwarders, shippers and consignees in a tripartite approach.
'Lufthansa Cargo, which currently has 12 Boeing 747 freighters, is also boosting its fleet with an additional 12 MD-11s by the end of 2001,' he said.
The carrier has been watching developments in e-commerce and working closely to keep pace with them.
Mr Keck said Lufthansa had completed its phased introduction of a range of time-definite express products by the end of last month.
