Luxair is the flag carrier airline of Luxembourg and the country's only operator of scheduled, non-charter passenger flights.
History
Together with the opening of Luxembourg's only international airfield, Findel Airport in Sandweiler, Luxembourg Airlines was established in 1948. However, in the first years it provided only ground services to other airlines serving the airport. The company was reformed as Luxair in 1961 and began flight operations in 1962 with the opening of the route between Luxembourg and Paris, France with a Fokker F27 aircraft.
Luxair in British Columbia
Although primarily concentrating on European and Mediterranean destinations, Luxair operate to a small number of destinations in Africa and North America since the 1970s. Luxair inaugurated their service to Vancouver in 1996 after entering into a codeshare partnership with Air BC.
In conjunction with Air BC, Luxair offer seasonal special offers in BC to sunny destinations in the Canary Islands, Madeira, and the Azores; vacationers may opt for a three-day, two-night layover in either direction, either in London, UK or in Luxembourg. In the former case the traveller will fly Air BC between Vancouver and London, whilst in the latter case the flight will be on the Luxair service between Vancouver and Luxembourg; travellers also have the option of making a stop in both directions, one in London and one in Luxembourg. In both cases, Luxair operate the connecting flight to Tenerife, Las Palmas, Funchal, or Ponta Delgada.
