General
- Lufthansa Cargo and the airlines of the Lufthansa Group, Lufthansa, Austrian Airlines, Swiss Brussels Airlines, and Aerologic, allow the usage of certain Customer-owned Cargo Tracking Devices being sent along with their shipments on our global network.
- Please note that if a device has been approved by Lufthansa Cargo, this approval is valid for all Lufthansa as well as Lufthansa Cargo flights and also for all SN Brussels, Discover Airlines, Sun Express and Air Dolomiti flights.
- Cargo Tracking Devices are Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs) attached to or transported in airfreight to monitor location and/or various parameters, such as temperature, vibration, and humidity.
- The device may transmit these parameters remotely employing radio frequency emissions. Devices that do not actively transmit data are defined as “loggers” and are subject to the same regulations.
- As all of these devices remain switched on during flight, a technical evaluation by the operator is required. Data transmission must be suspended and disabled during flight to comply with air safety regulations.
- Non-intentionally transmitting devices powered by coin cells are per EASA AIR OPS GM1 CAT.GEN.MPA.140 (b) in a switched-off status – and are therefore permitted for usage on the Lufthansa Group Fleet without further assessment.
- According to the new ICAO rules, trackers are now* allowed if the batteries do not exceed a lithium content of 0.3 grams. In addition, an output of 2.7-watt hours (Wh) must not be exceeded.
- The devices must still be protected from damage. All these criteria apply to common batteries such as CR2032 button cells, which are used in AirTags or comparable trackers.
