Cargolux wholly owned subsidiary, Luxcargo Handling or LCH, has been awarded a license for ramp handling and will take over Luxair’s ramp and warehouse handling operations at Luxembourg’s Findel airport.

The license also enables Luxcargo Handling to handle Luxair’s other airline partners apart from Cargolux, and the companies are looking forward to starting operations next year.

The decision was announced following a tender process for two ground handling licenses.

“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, Cargolux President & CEO.
