At Lufthansa’s freight subsidiary, a 23-year era came to an end on Sunday.
The last time a plane of the three-engine type MD-11 from Lufthansa Cargo landed in Frankfurt, the company announced.
She came from New York JFK Airport and touched down on south runway 07R at 12:03 p.m.
The large-capacity freighter is now to be sold to a US company.
Frankfurt - "We know that this special aircraft has an incredible number of fans, in our entire workforce as well as among aviation enthusiasts worldwide," said Cargo boss Dorothea von Boxberg.
The decisive factor for the introduction at the end of the 1990s was the significantly better fuel efficiency.
For the same reason, they are now relying on the twin-engine Boeing 777. The company has ten of these in its fleet.
Lufthansa Cargo operated a total of 19 MD-11 aircraft.
