- Spare Parts Logistics Service with dedicated cargo flight route from Baden-Baden, Germany to Madrid, Spain
- Direct distribution within Spain and Portugal
Lufthansa Cargo’s urgent logistics division time:matters, in cooperation with CB Logistik, has optimised its flight network in the spare parts logistics/after sales service area.
Due to COVID-19, most passenger flights to the Iberian Peninsula have been cancelled. In order to alleviate the resulting bottleneck in freight capacity, both partners have been able to quickly establish a freight flight network to and from Spain.
From Baden-Baden flights are now operating to the Spanish capital Madrid 5 days a week, Monday to Friday.
A dedicated SAAB 340 SF aircraft departs weekdays from Baden-Baden at 20:00 and arrives in Madrid at 23:30. Shortly after midnight, the consignments can be distributed via CB Logistik’s partner network and thus reach Spanish and Portuguese customers by noon the same day.
The majority of the consignments are delivered to the respective delivery points of the In-Night service customers before 08:00.
The Balearic and Canary Islands can also be served from Madrid on the same day.
With this new In-Night Express freight charter solution, time:matters, together with CB Logistik, offers customers a fast service for spare and production parts as well as other commodities, including the transport of hazardous goods.
Upon request, the new flight connection is also available from Madrid to Baden-Baden for time-critical shipments.
The service is aimed at customers in the mechanical engineering, agricultural, industrial trucks and medical technology sectors.
“By using the new freight flight route, our customers benefit from guaranteed shipping, extremely short handling times both in Baden-Baden and Madrid, and thus maximum flexibility,” says Stephan Vogel, Managing Director of time:matters Spare Parts Logistics.
“Through the cooperation with time:matters, we are pleased to be able to offer our customers a creative and high-performance transport solution for maintaining their supply chains, so that the goods can be picked up late as usual and still be available early in the morning of the following day,” adds Marc Jobelius, Member of the Management Board of CB Logistik.
