 German mail and logistics group Deutsche Post and Lufthansa's air freight division plan to create a joint cargo carrier, Germany's competition regulator, according to the cartel office.
The companies have applied for approval to set up a "joint airline for cargo flights", according to the authorities.
A spokesman for Post's DHL express delivery division said it planned to expand its cooperation with Lufthansa, without giving further details.
A Lufthansa spokesman said details would be announced shortly, without being more specific.
Lufthansa Cargo and DHL Express have operated a network together between Europe, Asia and the US since March 2004, a large part of which is due later this year to start operating out of Leipzig/Halle Airport, where DHL Express is moving its main European hub.
