CargoLogic Germany has taken delivery of its first Boeing 737 Freighter, landing at Leipzig/Halle Airport on 17 January at 2pm.

The first aircraft was welcomed by CargoLogic Germany’s managing director, Ulrich Ogiermann and Dierk Nather, accountable manager for the airline.

The German cargo airline plans to start flying from Leipzig/Halle with three Boeing 737s during 2019, primarily carrying express consignments once it has obtained relevant permits from the Federal Aviation Office.

Ogiermann says: “The arrival of the first plane at its future home base is an important milestone along our journey of launching flight operations here at Leipzig/Halle Airport during the spring this year.

“All the measures required for this from both organisational and operational points of view are proceeding at full speed. We’re therefore involved in a constructive dialogue with the Federal Aviation Office in this regard.”
