  • Lufthansa Cargo increased its load factor to more than 70 percent in the first six months of the year. The airline also reduced its capacity by 2.1 percent compared to a year ago, with the sharpest decline in Africa and the Middle East. Overall, Lufthansa Group’s second quarter operating profits were lower than expected.
  • Boeing, South African Airways and SkyNRG are collaborating to make sustainable aviation biofuel from a new type of tobacco plant. SkyNRG is expanding production of the hybrid plant known as Solaris as an energy crop that farmers could grow instead of traditional tobacco. Test farming of the plants, which are effectively nicotine-free, is underway in South Africa with biofuel production expected from large and small farms in the next few years.
  • PEMCO World Air Services announced the redelivery of three more 737-300 freighters to Yangtze River Express over the past several weeks. Yangtze River Express manages the cargo operations of Hainan Airlines, China Xinhua Airlines and other members of the Hainan Air Group.
  • IAG converted eight A350-900 options into firm orders for Iberia.
