Cargolux will introduce a non-stop flight to Aguadilla, Puerto Rico, on October 2, 2016.

The new flight will be operated once a week with a Boeing 747-8F, targeted at growing demand from the perishables and flower industries in Latin America.

“Our long-standing experience in the cool chain transport field, coupled with our dedicated, customer-oriented mentality, makes the Cargolux service to Aguadilla a superior offering for our partners in the pharma and perishables industry,” said Niek van der Weide, EVP of sales and marketing. “Only Cargolux serves this sector directly, fast and reliably.

Our cool chain experts regularly assess the specialized and often unique requirements of our customers and offer solid and practical solutions. This dedication is well received and has made our CV Fresh and CV Pharma products a sound success.”

The carrier already operates four flights a week between Luxembourg and Aguadilla, stopping in Amsterdam on the eastbound leg.
