Dorothea von Boxberg to leave Lufthansa Cargo to head Brussels Airlines

The Lufthansa Group merry-go-round has whirled again, this time sending Lufthansa Cargo’s Dorothea von Boxberg off to head Brussels Airlines.

She takes over as CEO on 15 April. Ms von Boxberg, who is chair of the executive board of Lufthansa Cargo, will also become the ‘representative of the executive board to the European Commission’.

She takes over in Brussels from Peter Gerber, also a former head of Lufthansa Cargo, who left in January, since when group board member Christina Foerster has been leading Brussels Airlines on an interim basis.

Lufthansa said: “The long-term successor for Dorothea von Boxberg at Lufthansa Cargo is to be announced as soon as possible.”
