Lufthansa Cargo speeds up digital bookings with AI


Lufthansa Cargo has introduced a new AI-driven system to speed up how it processes booking requests. By combining AI with robotic process automation, the airline can now automatically extract booking details from unstructured customer emails and input them directly into its system, removing the need for manual entry. Customers then receive immediate, fully automated booking confirmations instead of waiting for manual processing.

While most bookings already come through structured digital platforms, Lufthansa still receives many requests in formats such as plain text or file attachments. Previously, these had to be transferred manually.

The new system eliminates that step, making the booking process quicker and reducing the chance of errors. Sales teams benefit from fewer repetitive tasks, giving them more time to interact personally with customers instead of managing administrative duties.
