Cargolux brings flowers to lovebirds

In the run-up to Valentine’s Day, Cargolux pilots are on a special mission to deliver a very particular freight to its destination. Millions of flowers including the traditional seasonal roses are being flown to Europe from Africa and Latin America. In addition to its 20 weekly flights out of Nairobi, Quito and Bogota, Cargolux has added over 1,200 tonnes of extra capacity to meet the peak demand ahead of the celebration.
