Cargolux Airlines

In 1970, Cargolux Airlines International S.A. started operations from its newly established home base at Luxembourg airport with a handful of Canadair CL-44 freighters. 45 years later, Cargolux is Europe’s biggest all-cargo airline with a fleet of modern Boeing 747-8 and 747-400 freighters. Cargolux is a launch customer for the technologically advanced 747-8F that joined the fleet in late 2011 and is the world’s first operator of this aircraft type. Already in 1993, Cargolux had shown its pioneering spirit when it took delivery of the world’s first 747-400 freighter.
