Lufthansa Cargo ranks among the world’s leading cargo carriers. In the 2011 business year, the airline transported around 1.9 million tonnes of cargo. Pharma tonnage accounted for three freighters-worth every day. In 2000, Lufthansa Cargo launched Cool/td, a special product for temperature-sensitive shipments. The cargo carrier serves more than 300 destinations in some 100 countries with its own fleet of freighters, the belly capacities of passenger aircraft operated by Lufthansa and Austrian Airlines, and an extensive road feeder service network. This means we can get your sensitive shipment to most destinations.
Our highly skilled staff, global accessibility, customised development of processes and excellent infrastructure allows us to offer a successful and exclusive solution for temperature-sensitive cargo – something we have been doing for twelve years. We train our employees worldwide in handling temperature-sensitive cargo to ensure we have skilled staff in place to assist our team of 60 ‘cool experts’ all around the world. Our Lufthansa Cargo Cool Center in Frankfurt caters for four different temperature ranges and is ideally located with direct access to the apron. Meanwhile, the Cool Center used by Lufthansa Cargo in Hyderabad ensures we maintain close contact with the core market of India.
Along with eleven other Lufthansa Cargo products, Cool/td provides reliable airport-to-airport shipping for the bioscience and health industries, keeping cargo within specified temperature ranges to ensure the integrity of temperature-sensitive substances. To support active temperature control, we have developed reliable technologies and containers together with our supplier DoKaSch.

The Opticooler:
We also offer a wide range of Envirotainer cool containers for most destinations within our network.
Several service packages are available: Cool/td-Active for shipments in specifically designed cool containers, Cool/td-Passive for goods packed with special insulation or products that can withstand minor temperature fluctuations in storage and during transportation, and Cool/td and DG for temperature-sensitive dangerous goods.
Cool/td-Passive is designed for passive temperature control for shipments:
Cool/td-Active provides a comprehensive range of active cool containers backed up by special handling processes, trained personnel and a specific infrastructure.
Constant temperature control is maintained in the cool container throughout the entire journey. Opticoolers use compressors and electric heaters to regulate temperature as needed, while the Unicoolers’ cooling technology is based on dry ice and electric heaters.
Freight transported with Cool/td-Active remains in the container throughout the entire transportation chain, and containers can be provided beyond the airport to allow loading and unloading by the shipper and recipient, and to prevent temperature fluctuations during ground handling.
Imagine that insulin has to travel from Switzerland to North America safely. Urgently needed vaccines must be flown from Germany to South America. Or a shipment of temperature-sensitive semiconductors from Hyderabad is expected in Barcelona. In each of these cases, you have to be sure that the shipment will arrive in top condition. And in each case, the answer is Cool/td by Lufthansa Cargo.
Cool/td is the ideal solution for all types of temperature-sensitive cargo, whether it needs a constant -20°C, +30°C or any other temperature range. For example:
High-quality transportation from origin to destination means maximum reliability with maximum complexity. We provide this as a matter of course.
