Dangerous Goods

Safe air transportation
In a world of increasingly complex products, the range of industrial, commercial and domestic goods that can represent a risk to health or safety is constantly expanding and becoming more difficult to identify.

Apparently inucuous items such as household goods, electrical items and medical equipment may contain a wide variety of potentially hazardous substances. Yet every day flammable, corrosive, toxic, spontaneously combustible and infectious materials, explosives, oxidants, poisons, cryogenic liquids, magnetized and radio-active materials are swiftly, safely and economically carried by air.

Its air transportation is regulated by the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR), and approved by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

Fully trained personnel
All Cargolux staff has to undergo DGR training to ensure that such cargo is correctly and safely handled and its documentation issued as per required regulations, while the shipper also has to comply with the regulations at the country of origin, transit and destination.

Handling agent Luxair at Cargolux's Head Office, whose staff is equally qualified and also licensed for the acceptance, loading and handling of dangerous goods, ensures that every aspect of each consignment complies with established international regulations.

Restricted articles have their own specially constructed storage areas, segregated from general cargo and fitted with alarms and emergency equipment, minimizing the risk of damage during handling, as well as injury to workers and the environment in the event of spillage and leakage.

Cargolux offers over 35 years of experience, qualified staff and modern equipment to transport clients' dangerous and hazardous cargo safely to final destination.
