to all overseas destinations


Explanation:
"Luftfracht" implies overseas, as distinct from closer destinations served by their road haulage unit. I think the German can be improved on, here.

neutral  xxxIanW: I don't think it's right to exclude Germany - if you were transporting low-bulk, high-value goods from the very north of Germany to the very south, I'm pretty sure you'd do so by air // Mostly, yes, but not exclusively
31 mins
  -> "Hier ... Auslandspartnern", i.e. outside Germany
neutral  Olaf Reibedanz: with Ian
38 mins
disagree  BrigitteHilgner: DHL from Vienna to Munich is "Luftfracht" - therefore I consider "overseas" an inappropriate expression.

  -> da hast du an sich Recht, aber ich habe vom Feeling her weiter entfernte Ziele verstanden
