Luxair Flights

The flag carrier of Luxembourg, Luxair has its headquarters and the main hub located at the Luxembourg airport. The airline offers both scheduled and charter services to destinations across Europe mainly. Luxair happens to be the only airline in Luxembourg to offer regular flights in the region.

History

Founded in 1961, Luxair was formed in order to cater to the increasing demand for airlines from Luxembourg to the European cities. The airline started operation in 1962 when it flew the first aircraft from Luxembourg to Paris using Fokker F27 Friendship. In a few years, the company launched Boeing 737-400s and Boeing 737-500s. In 2005, the airline removed Fokker 50 from its fleet to buy an all-jet fleet. In 2015, Lufthansa, a shareholder of the airline, announced selling all its shares to the Luxembourg government.
