MEMBER SPOTLIGHT
LuxairGroup: all about travelling
LuxairGroup is a key player in the Luxembourg and “Grande Région” economy, and the tenth largest
employer in the Grand Duchy. In the 2006 “Building a new airline” restructuring, the company singled
out its main activities as independent business lines. Clad in a whole new branding, the company
formerly referred to as plain „Luxair“ changed to LuxairGroup in 2007, introducing its four business
lines as LuxairCARGO, LuxairServices, LuxairTours and Luxair Luxembourg Airlines. On a whole, the
corporate entity LuxairGroup is employer to some 2400 people.
LuxairCARGO: Europe’s fifth largest air freight
platform
LuxairCARGO operates its own cargo center at Luxembourg Airport.
The state-of-the-art warehouse has a capacity to handle one million
tons of freight a year. Combined with advanced systems, forty years of
expertise and the generally uncongested airport, LuxairCARGO guarantees
an efficient service to freight airlines and forwarding companies
from around the world.
Luxair Luxembourg Airlines: flagship carrier from
the Luxembourg area
Luxair Luxembourg Airlines links Luxembourg and the neighboring
regions in Germany, France and Belgium to Europe and the hubs to
worldwide connections. Tailor-made schedules are fitted to suit the
business traveler, with same-day return services to major European
trade centers and a high punctuality rate.
A second hub in Saarbrucken
To meet the Saarland’s population with a closer service, a number of
flights to Munich, Berlin and Hamburg transit through Saarbrucken
airport. Luxair’s growth out of this airport has been steady and is
supported through capacity increases as of winter 2009/10.
Integrated Miles&More member
After nine years of close cooperation, Luxair became a fully integrated
member of the Lufthansa Miles&More loyalty program early 2009. As
well as collecting loyalty miles, customers now also receive the coveted
status miles, allowing them to collect miles toward the Senator and
HON circle statuses on Luxair flights. Other advantages for members
include supplementary luggage, access to the lounge, guaranteed reservation,
waitlist priority, and 25% bonus on each mile.
LuxairServices: there is so much more to flying
than flying
From check-in to boarding, and returning, from aircraft transfer to
luggage distribution, passengers at Luxembourg Airport are assisted
by the LuxairServices agents. Moreover, LuxairServices comprises the
aircraft turnaround teams, who coordinate fueling, loading and cleaning
of the aircraft in between flights. The LuxairServices airline catering
department prepares homemade meals and snacks for all Luxair
Luxembourg Airlines and LuxairTours flights, as well as for third party
customers in Luxembourg.
