LUXCARGO HANDLING S.A. TO TAKE OVER LUXAIR’S RAMP, CARGO GANDLING ACTIVITIES

Cargolux announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Luxcargo Handling S.A., LCH, has been awarded a license for ramp handling at Luxembourg airport.

 

The decision was announced following a tender process for two ground-handling licenses — which also permits LCH to handle third-party airlines.

 

In a statement, Cargolux said LCH will take over Luxair's ramp and warehouse handling operations at Luxembourg's Findel airport.

 

"The takeover of Luxair's ramp and warehouse handling services by LCH is a great opportunity for Cargolux to strengthen its position in the air cargo industry and to further enhance its service offering to its customers," said Richard Forson, president and CEO of Cargolux.

 

He added that LCH also looks forward to continuing the relationship Luxair had with other airlines besides Cargolux.

 

"We look forward to commencing operations in 2024. Cargolux's and Luxair's cargo ramp and warehouse handling teams have been working hand in hand for decades, and I am confident that the transition will proceed smoothly," he added.

 

As an all-cargo carrier with over 50 years of experience in the industry, Cargolux said it is aware of the challenges and requirements for seamless cargo handling.
