Lufthansa Cargo and DHL Express have officially launched their joint cargo airline, AeroLogic, which will start service on June 29th. The new JV will deploy eight leased Boeing 777 freighters, two of which have already been delivered with two more scheduled to follow by the end of the year. The remaining four planes will join the fleet by the end of 2010. DHL will operate express services on a Leipzig-Bahrain-Singapore-Delhi-Leipzig rotation on weekdays, while Lufthansa Cargo will operate on a Leipzig-Tashkent-Hong Kong-Tashkent-Leipzig loop on weekends. Furthermore, AeroLogic plans to offer new direct connections to most of Asia's major metropolitan areas by 2010.
