Frankfurt am Main: Air-Cargo Hub and Financial Metropolis
Frankfurt is Germany's financial centre - and at the same time one of the most important freight-traffic hubs in Europe. Frankfurt Airport is one of the largest cargo airports on the continent; hundreds of forwarders, handling agents and customs service providers are based in CargoCity Süd and the northern cargo area. Add to this Messe Frankfurt with its international flagship trade fairs, the chemical and pharmaceutical location of the Höchst industrial park, and the banks, data centres and digital economy that continuously generate urgent and high-value shipments. The Rhine-Main region as a whole is one of the densest logistics regions in Europe, with large distribution centres along the A3 and A5.
Typical direct transports to and from Frankfurt
- Air-freight pre- and on-carriage and air-freight replacement services to and from CargoCity - on schedule for the handling agents' cut-off times
- AOG and emergency shipments, where every hour counts, with 24/7 dispatch
- Pharmaceutical and chemical products in packaged, palletised form from the Höchst site and the Rhine-Main region
- IT hardware and data-centre technology for the data-centre hub of Frankfurt - high-value and shock-sensitive
- Exhibition goods for Messe Frankfurt with delivery within the build-up window
Connections: the Frankfurter Kreuz and the Rhine-Main corridors
At the Frankfurter Kreuz, the A3 (Cologne-Nuremberg) and the A5 (Basel-Kassel) - two of the busiest motorways in Europe - meet right at the airport. The A66 opens up the city towards Wiesbaden and Fulda, while the A661 distributes traffic in the east of the city. For direct transports this location is ideal: from the ramp in Frankfurt or the surrounding area, it's straight onto the long-distance corridors to Benelux, France, Switzerland or Southern and Eastern Europe without detours. A low-emission zone applies within the city; we firmly schedule time windows at the airport and exhibition grounds.
Frequently asked questions
Do you run air-freight replacement services from Frankfurt Airport?
Yes. When flight capacity is lacking or a shipment has missed the cut-off, we move air freight as a direct road transport to the destination or to another European hub. Through 24/7 dispatch, exclusive vehicles from van to articulated lorry and GPS tracking, the shipment stays deadline-managed throughout.
Can you reliably meet cut-off times in CargoCity Frankfurt?
Yes. Handling agents in CargoCity work with fixed cut-off times per flight. A direct transport without stopovers makes the arrival time calculable; we plan with a buffer against the cut-off and get in touch proactively if anything shifts en route. You track the vehicle location live via GPS.
Which goods are most often moved as direct transport from Frankfurt?
Typical cases are air-freight pre- and on-carriage, urgent AOG and spare-parts shipments, packaged pharmaceutical and chemical products from the Rhine-Main region, sensitive IT and data-centre technology, and exhibition goods for Messe Frankfurt. What they have in common: fixed deadlines and high goods value - exactly what the exclusive full load is made for.
