Information is beginning to come from several reliable and proven sources that Lufthansa has issued a mandate instructing their African Cargo operations to place a ban on the transport of any African Hunting Trophy aboard LH Aircraft.

This memorandum may have been issued only in the last day or 2 and I am working to confirm additional details.  What I understand so far is that the ban is effective immediately and covers any and all hunting trophies that originate in Africa.

With this new policy, LH has joined with South African, Emirates and British Airways in banning ‘Trophy’ cargo.  Unfortunately Delta has issued a statement recently affirming that they will continue to allow transit of African Game Trophies aboard their aircraft.

More details as I learn them!
