As much as anyone else, we were surprised to learn that Luxair decided to cancel the Staff Travel Agreement for Cargolux staff without any prior notice or indication that this may happen. This agreement was effectively the only staff rate agreement which many of our members relied on to commute to/from Luxembourg and we as your Board are very well aware about the consequences of this cancellation.
Immediately after we received the email from Corporate Communication, we did get in touch with the CEO. He advised us that Luxair did not provide Cargolux management with any prior notification about the cancellation nor did he receive a courtesy call before.
In this telephone conversation we also made it clear again, that this cancellation has huge consequences for many Cargolux pilots who rely on the agreement. The CEO assured that he is aware about this fact and explained that he will investigate about the reasons why Luxair cancelled this contract.
Unfortunately, for the time being this is all we as your Board can do. As your representatives we will do whatever we can to get this agreement reinstated. However, please note that this will for the most part be at the discretion of Luxair.
