Congratulations to the whole team at Cargolux for their Golden Jubilee milestone.
Cargolux is a good cargo operator. Though they had a few challenges in the past, overall, they have had an amazing 50 years run. They have had good leadership and a good team of professionals who have kept the company lean and mean which has helped them to ride the down cycle well. They have managed to create a very good network using freighters and road feeder services.
Use of newer production freighters has also allowed them to provide more reliable services and also optimize the use of assets allowing them to keep their unit costs at bay. I have watched their growth during the last few decades with great admiration and had the opportunity to compete, as well as, work with them. They are good folks.
