Luxembourg-based all-cargo airline Cargolux has announced that it is now part of UNICEF’s Humanitarian Airfreight Initiative to transport essential medical and pharmaceutical supplies where they are most needed.

The project aims to prioritise the delivery of vital healthcare products, including COVID-19 vaccines, to curb the global pandemic.

A leading provider of transport solutions for medical shipments, Cargolux strived to keep the supply chain and essential supplies moving at the height of the pandemic. Taking part in such initiatives is thus part of the airline’s philosophy.

As Richard Forson, President and CEO, explained: “Cargolux has extensive experience in the handling of healthcare and pharmaceutical goods as well as a strong commitment to supporting humanitarian causes. This initiative is fully aligned with the airline’s values and it was therefore natural for us to take part in this project. We look forward to leveraging our expertise in the field to provide seamless and secure transport for these life-saving products”.
