The “LCCevo” project is to strengthen the competitive position of the logistics hub in Europe by creating a modern, more sustainable infrastructure. Continuous operation: the basic renovation will be carried out in stages and cargo handling will continue smoothly in the 330,000 m² Lufthansa Cargo Center.
“Lufthansa Cargo enables global business and connects world markets more sustainably. The LCCevo project reflects our commitment to growth and excellence. (…) LCCevo underlines our strong ties to our home base and strengthens Frankfurt Airport’s role as a central cargo hub in Europe,” said Ashwin Bhat, CEO of Lufthansa Cargo.
„This investment by the Lufthansa Group is a clear commitment to the Frankfurt location and symbolises our confidence in the long-term future of the aviation business.” – he said Michael Niggemann, Member of the Management Board of Deutsche Lufthansa AG.
“This flagship project makes our cargo business at the Frankfurt hub fit for the future. It increases quality and efficiency for customers, creates sustainable jobs for our employees and enables even more environmentally friendly processes on the ground. At the same time, we are making a significant contribution to the efficiency of air freight in the heart of Europe, thereby enabling global traffic for our economy,” says Michael Niggemann, quoted in a Lufthansa Cargo press release.

Lufthansa Cargo expands connections with Poland
Let us recall that recently Wojciech Ryglewicz, Director of Lufthansa Cargo for Central and Eastern Europe in an interview for the portal wnp.pl revealed a plan to radically increase traffic and operations with Poland: at least 2-3 times a week on the Frankfurt-Warsaw or Frankfurt-Katowice section, and ultimately 5-6 flights a week. Each flight carries around 25 tons of goods.
Politicians: Tusk has chosen
Opposition politicians comment unequivocally on the information about the disclosed plans for the German lines as an action that disrupts the CPK construction plans or even eliminates them.
The Germans waited a while, and when they saw that the Tusk government had effectively ploughed the CPK project, they began to expand their own hub in Frankfurt. At the same time, they do not even hide the fact that their goal is to take over most of the air cargo traffic to Poland. Now they can, now they are sure that nothing will harm German interests – commented on the X platform former Prime Minister Beata Szydło.
It has become clear – we already know what the hidden conclusions from the mythical audits sounded like. “PLN 200 billion in revenue from cargo traffic will go either to Germany (Frankfurt) or to Poland (CPK) – the choice is up to the 🇵🇱 government.” Donald Tusk decided without hesitation – former deputy prime minister and head of MAP Jacek Sasin bitterly summed up.
This is what politics conducted from the knees looks like. By banning the construction of the CPK in Poland, Tusk is paying off the debt to his German superiors. The revenues to our budget from the CPK cargo transport have been estimated at almost PLN 200 billion by 2060. But this is still a small part of the losses incurred by the state budget and each citizen during the government of the December 13 coalition. We will present a report on this subject soon. Stay tuned – he wrote on social media the head of the PiS parliamentary club, Mariusz Błaszczak.
Germans are allowed to do so, Poles are not – said Daniel Obajtek, former CEO of Orlen and PiS MEP, commenting on the information about the German investment.
And then he added a comment in a new entry:
Smiling Poland, you are suckers. You sell the economic freedom of Poland 🇵🇱 and this part of Europe in exchange for cheap games.
The Polish CPK is to have significant cargo potential, but it will not be launched until 2035 at the earliest.
The Central Communication Port is a planned transfer hub between Warsaw and Łódź, which will integrate air, rail and road transport.
As part of the project, an airport would be built 37 km west of Warsaw, on an area of approximately 3,000 hectares, which in the first stage would be able to handle 40 million passengers a year.
The CPK would also include railway investments: a junction in the immediate vicinity of the airport and connections within the country that would enable travel between Warsaw and the largest Polish cities in no more than 2.5 hours.
The investment would enable the creation of over 150 thousand new jobs. In the CPK area, Airport City is planned, which would include, among others, exhibition and congress facilities, conference and office facilities.
The CPK company is 100% owned by the State Treasury and is classified as a strategic company from the point of view of the country’s interests.
At the end of April, Polish Airports announced that the realistic deadline for CPK to start operating is 2035.
