This growth in employment should continue throughout 2018, based on the steady increase in business that was experienced at the start of the year, in particular for LuxairCARGO.
LuxairCARGO has confirmed that it will be creating 150 additional permanent positions by July, following a record year exceeding 938,000 tonnes and a promising start to 2018. If the favorable conjuncture continues and levels of business remain stable, some 100 extra permanent positions should be created in several stages until the end of the year. LuxairCARGO is highly dependent on volume fluctuations, so it might also occasionally have to revert to fixed-term contracts and temporary staff. LuxairGroup has therefore started advertising job vacancies for over one hundred fixed-term contracts in the field of air-freight handling.
LuxairCARGO also wants to provide career opportunities in the transportation and logistics industry for young people. The joint logistics competition between LuxairCARGO and Logisitics Departments at Bonnevoie and Esch-Lallange Technical Colleges, supported by various Ministries, thereby enables college students to exchange views with a key player in the logistics industry and gain professional experience by working on real projects.
LuxairGroup is fully aware of its responsibility as an employer and economic player. LuxairGroup has a positive influence on national and cross-border economic growth, as it directly employs 2,900 members of staff and some 3,000 indirect jobs linked to its activities.
