dubai — Cargolux airlines and Emirates SkyCargo have announced that they will be entering into a codeshare partnership for air cargo transportation.

The agreement was signed in Dubai by Nabil Sultan, Emirates divisional senior vice-president, cargo, and Richard Forson, president and CEO Cargolux airlines, in the presence of François Bausch, Minister of Sustainable Development and Infrastructure, Luxembourg.

Earlier this year, the two airlines announced the start of a strategic operational partnership to work closely on a number of operational areas including block space and interline agreements, aircraft charter, hub connectivity between Dubai and Luxembourg and cargo handling cooperation.

The partnership has been off to a successful start with Emirates SkyCargo commencing weekly freighter services to Luxembourg from June 2017 and Cargolux transferring handling for their freighter flights at Dubai World Central (DWC) to Emirates SkyCargo in September 2017. Since July 2017, Emirates SkyCargo has also chartered Boeing 747 freighter aircraft from Cargolux’s fleet.
