Cargolux Airlines International S.A. confirmed on July 1, 2026, a court ruling from the Luxembourg court that ratifies an agreement in the criminal proceedings between the company and the Public Prosecutor’s Office of Luxembourg. The case involves allegations of influence peddling related to activities in Gabon between 2010 and 2015. This concerns solely the legal entity Cargolux, not individuals.
The investigation was initiated after Cargolux voluntarily provided information to the Public Prosecutor’s Office of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg at the end of 2015. The company has cooperated with the authorities throughout the proceedings. According to the ruling, Cargolux must pay a total fine of approximately EUR 1.15 million, consisting of a monetary penalty and a confiscation.
Measures to Strengthen Compliance
Since the self-disclosure, Cargolux has continuously taken measures to improve internal control mechanisms as well as compliance systems and governance practices. These developments were acknowledged as part of the Plea Agreement and demonstrate the importance of voluntary disclosures and cooperation with judicial authorities.
The company emphasizes that the court ruling has no impact on current operations, customer activities, or the services offered. Cargolux remains committed to acting ethically and transparently and maintaining integrity in all business areas.
Cargolux, based in Luxembourg, is one of the leading cargo airlines in Europe and operates a fleet of 30 Boeing 747-8 and Boeing 747-400 freighters. The company has also ordered ten Boeing 777-8F to replace the older 747-400 aircraft. Cargolux serves over 50 destinations worldwide and offers both full and part charter services. With more than 90 offices in over 50 countries and an extensive global transport network, Cargolux is established in the air freight industry.
