Special & express runs from FRA

Time-critical direct runs start at Cargo City: whether AOG parts, medical samples or production downtime — we dispatch vans, 7.5 t or 40 t trucks immediately without transshipment. From FRA we reach Munich in under four hours, Amsterdam in about four, Paris in under five.

Import pickups at Frankfurt freight terminal

Import cargo from Asia, North America or intra-Europe arrives at FRA freight terminal. FRA Connect collects after customs and air cargo security release, coordinates X-ray if required and delivers across Germany or Europe — as special run or scheduled shuttle.

Export pickups — LBA compliant to the gate

As an LBA-trained company we collect export cargo from customers in the Rhine-Main region, nationwide or from neighbouring EU countries and deliver on time to airline, handler or ramp position — security status, seals and documentation per German air cargo law.

On-board courier & ramp transfers

For maximum urgency our on-board courier flies handcarry from FRA worldwide. On the ground we handle transfers between Cargo City, GAT, forwarders and external X-ray facilities — seamlessly linked to our road special runs.
