The meeting concluded with a memorable trip to the Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage, an event greatly appreciated by all.

In Sri Lanka, Lufthansa Cargo operated as an online carrier with MD-11 freighters thrice a week until early 2005. Currently Lufthansa Cargo operates as an offline carrier. Lewis Brown Air Services (Pvt) Ltd., the GSA for Lufthansa Cargo, transports cargo via Lufthansa gateways in the Middle East, India and the Far East. At present Lufthansa Cargo uplifts a significant tonnage being an off line operator, that comprises general cargo, garments, live ornamental fish, perishables, dangerous goods and high density cargo such as tyres and machinery parts.

At a time when price pressures and volatility continue, the Lufthansa Cargo brand, quality and network are the reason for strong and loyal customer support.

Lewis Brown Air Services (Pvt) Limited has been the General Sales Agent for Lufthansa Cargo since July 1993. Lufthansa Cargo and Austrian Airlines Cargo have merged their global activities and Lufthansa Cargo now handles all Austrian Airlines Cargo capacity worldwide. The merger between Lufthansa Cargo and Austrian Cargo will strengthen an already extensive global network.

Lufthansa Cargo is a giant in the global cargo industry, renowned for its efficiency and dedication to the highest standards of customer service. Being an exclusive GSA for Lufthansa Cargo, Lewis Brown Air Services offers their customers an unprecedented degree of service to destinations all over the world.

As a result of new international markets rapidly opening up to Sri Lankan exporters, this merger between two established European airlines gives Lewis Brown Air Services the opportunity to offer its customers a more extensive range of destinations.
