Lufthansa Cargo pauses all-cargo flights to Mumbai over congestion

2026-09-25 ·FreightWaves ·Views 60

Lufthansa Cargo has responded to congestion at Mumbai airport in India by halting flights with freighter aircraft for several days.

What it means for the market

The Mumbai suspension matters less for India lanes themselves than for the knock-on congestion at transshipment hubs such as Dubai and Singapore, where the diverted volume lands. Korea-bound express and Sea & Air cargo moving through the same hubs can lose slot priority, so actual arrival may drift several days from the published schedule. If you have cargo originating in or routing through India, confirm uplift at the AWB level rather than trusting the booking, and prepare customs documents against the confirmed loading date instead of the ETA. For promotion-linked shipments, secure an alternative routing through a different hub before the backlog clears.
