Cargolux is to bid farewell to Champ, with the full-cargo carrier reportedly looking to bring all its IT services back in-house, and examining ways to break the partnership. CargoForwarder reports that chief executive of Champ Arnaud Lambert appears to have “lost a big battle” to save the relationship between the two companies. It seems the carrier sees Champ’s systems as “antiquated”, with one former executive suggesting the systems offered would benefit from a “root-and-branch” reform.
