Ridiculous to compare this to the Berlin Airlift. At the time all road, rail and water connections were blocked into a war torn city.
Air was the only possibility to supply such things as even a cabbage. Lufthansa is not going to fly in cabbages to Germany now.

Also I do not believe for a second that Lufthansa is doing this dor the greater good of mankind. They are in this for the money. And understandably, it is the one and only thing that an airline can make a little bit money on.

And regarding the possibility of passengercabin cargo, I believe that will turn out to be one of the WhatsApp group hoaxes running around.
I am told that expected cargo is high priority but low volume. Like medical supplies.
Will fit perfectly into belly’s of their most efficient aircraft the A350.

Any LH pilot to comment?
