Pension Details

Luxembourg state pension which is -as you would expect from the officialy richest country in the world 2007- not the worst + a fonds based pension plan from "swiss life insurance". You can choose (and change) from guaranteed to high risk fonds and the company will then invest for you a variable amount based on your rank and salery on a monthly basis.

Staff travel Free unlimited travel for staff member and direct family (live-in partner & kids) on Cargolux and Cargolux Italia flights until 15.03.2019. After this date passengers are only allowed if no CAO freight (cargo aircraft only) is on board. Since this affects appr. 95% of CV flights staff travel privileges on board CV aircraft are virtually history. Upper deck features 6 business class seats. Embargo for family members on flights to USA due TSA rules. Unlimited ID90 on Luxair. Worldwide ZED staff travel on Brussels Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Oman Air and a few others. NEW: No more leisure travel AT ALL on flights that carry CAO DGRs. Therefore no realistic staff travel out of LUX anymore.
