[1] It was a joint venture between the Hinduja Group and German airline Lufthansa Cargo.
The company operated a fleet of Boeing 727 freighters, flying from airports in the Indian subcontinent to feed Lufthansa Cargo's hub in the Middle East.
Before 1996, Lufthansa Cargo was operating Douglas DC-8 aircraft between Germany and several Indian cities, including Delhi and Mumbai, as well as a cargo hub at Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates.
Two Boeing 727-200F freighters were acquired to replace the DC-8 routes, rising to five aircraft in October 1996.
Lufthansa Cargo suspended its agreement with the Hinduja Group in April 2000, citing higher-than-expected demand which could be better met with direct flights from Frankfurt.
