Thilo Schäfer joins Leisure Cargo

Ex-Lufthansa Cargo manager Thilo Schäfer has been appointed managing director of Leisure Cargo — the ‘virtual cargo airline’ of German low cost carrier airberlin — taking up his role next month (March). 
Schäfer will lead the company together with Klaus Sieger.
Thilo Schäfer previously held the position of vice president global handling at Lufthansa Cargo, where most recently he carried overall responsibility for process and quality management, digitisation, lean logistics and innovation management.
Stefan Pichler, chief executive of airberlin, said: “We have recruited an extremely experienced air cargo manager in Thilo Schäfer. His extensive knowledge of the logistics industry will allow him to play a key role in shaping Leisure Cargo’s ongoing strategic development as a ‘virtual cargo airline’.”
Schäfer said: “I am looking forward to my new challenges very much, particularly building and expanding new customer relationships in Germany and abroad.
"I am convinced that our strong team and global partners will allow the future-oriented and successful development of Leisure Cargo to continue.”
