Cargolux Agrees €1.15m Penalty in Gabon Case

On Wednesday 1 July 2026, Luxembourg-based all-cargo airline Cargolux confirmed that the Luxembourg court had issued a judgment ratifying the plea agreement between the company and the Luxembourg State Prosecutor regarding a matter of influence peddling in Gabon.

According to Cargolux, the judgment relates only to the company and to conduct between 2010 and 2015 and does not concern any individuals. Cargolux voluntarily reported the matter to the Luxembourg Public Prosecutor's Office in 2015 upon its discovery and has fully cooperated with the authorities throughout the process. As a result of the judgment, the company has agreed to pay penalties totalling approximately €1.15 million.

Cargolux added that it continually reviews and updates its compliance procedures, resulting in strengthened internal controls, enhanced compliance frameworks and governance standards aligned with international best practice.

The airline stressed that the judgment has no impact on its current operations, customer activity or the services it provides to customers.

Cargolux also reaffirmed its commitment to operating ethically, transparently and with integrity across all its activities.
