Effective September 1, 2024, Oliver von Götz has assumed the role of Head of Global Fulfilment Management at Lufthansa Cargo in Frankfurt. In this capacity, he will oversee global warehouse handling, enhance the production system, and manage customer service for the airline. Additionally, von Götz will serve as the primary liaison with relevant authorities, reinforcing Lufthansa Cargo’s commitment to operational excellence and compliance.

With 13 years of robust experience in the aviation industry, von Götz brings extensive expertise in network management, strategy, and sales.

Von Götz succeeds Dr Jan-Wilhelm Breithaupt, who transitioned to become the Managing Director of Jettainer, the global market leader in unit load device (ULD) management services and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lufthansa Cargo, on June 1, 2024. With this leadership change, Lufthansa Cargo is poised to further enhance its global fulfilment capabilities, ensuring top-tier service delivery to its clients.
