Shippers and forwarders are prepared to pay higher freight rates for environmentally-friendly air cargo.

That is the message from Lufthansa Cargo, which says that a number of shipper and freight forwarders have asked for a green rate quote for their airfreight shipments.

These and other topics are covered in the How Green is Air Cargo? special report in the latest issue of Air Cargo News.
