Lufthansa Hires Third MD-11 For Transatlantic Cargo Runs

World Airways Operates Chartered Trijet Freighters

Lufthansa Cargo and World Airways signed an expanded 18-month contract this week to operate three MD-11 freighters between Europe and the United States beginning July 1, 2007. This will supersede the current contract for two MD-11 freighters through October 2007.

"World Airways has operated very reliably for Lufthansa between New York JFK and Europe and we are pleased that they have demonstrated their confidence in us by extending and expanding our contract," said Rob Binns, chief marketing officer for World Air Holdings, Inc. "Lufthansa Cargo is a leading international carrier with an impeccable reputation, and World Airways is proud to be one of Lufthansa Cargo's partners in providing excellent service for their customers."

Bernhard Kindelbacher, senior vice president, Product and Network Management of Lufthansa Cargo, added, "We very much appreciate the support of World Airways -- as they are a very professional and reliable partner for our worldwide network."

Lufthansa Cargo operates 19 MD-11 freighters, and currently has additional charter agreements for two MD-11 freighters and three Boeing 747 freighters. In 2006, Lufthansa Cargo transported over 1.9 million tons of freight and mail shipments, through use of its own dedicated cargo fleet, chartered aircraft, and aboard cargo holds of the carrier's passenger jets.

World Airways is a US-certificated air carrier providing customized transportation services for major international passenger and cargo carriers, international freight forwarders, the United States military and international leisure tour operators. Founded in 1948, World Airways operates a fleet of 17 wide-body aircraft.
