Cargolux CEO Resigns

[ACheck]

I thought our friend from Luxembourg wold have reported this. From Air Cargo World Nov 15,

Urlich Ogiermann has stepped down as CEO of Cargolux and will be replaced by Frank Reimen of the Luxembourg Ministry of Sustainable Development and Infrastructure.
Reimen will take control of the company on Jan. 1 2010. Until then, David Arendt, executive vice president and CFO, will serve as CEO. Ogiermann will continue to serve the company as a special advisor.
According to a statement, Ogiermann and the company's board of directors agreed on his resignation so he can devote his full energies to combating his indictment in the U.S. Department of Justice's ongoing price-fixing investigation. The former CEO was charged last month along with the airline's Robert Van de Weg with fixing and coordinating fuel and security surcharges from October 2001 to February 2006.
"Frank Reimen has outstanding management and leadership qualities,” Marc Hoffmann, chairman of the board at Cargolux, said in the statement. “He has years of experience and in-depth knowledge of the aviation sector in general and the air cargo industry in specific. As a director of the Cargolux board, he has actively participated in decisions of high importance related to Cargolux, especially during the difficult business environment in 2009.”

Hy from good old Luxembourg!

In fact Ulrich OGIERMANN, to date, is the only CEO having had to resign in the wake of the price-fixing matter! That's the one thing to say on that case, the other is that the appointment of the Luxembourger Frank REIMEN raises some questions, at least to me! Some Luxembourgish journalists already questioned the capabilities of Mr REIMEN, as he's definitely neither a man with proven manager-experience nor an aircargo specialist. Even if he has been a member of the Luxair, Cargolux and Lux-airport boards, he, up until now, never had to prove he's a good manager!

It seems to me it's a rather politically motivated appointment, as is often the case in Luxembourg. It certainly raises questions about the future of Cargolux. I remind you that there have been rumours in the past already about a possible merger of Luxair and Cargolux! In fact, all top-positions within Luxair and Cargolux are now held by Luxembourgers: Luxair and Cargolux chairman: Marc HOFFMANN, Luxair-CEO: Adrien NEY, Cargolux-CEO: Frank REIMEN.

Hey,

sorry, I missed to post this information, I heared it the day it self, in the radio, right after school, when sittting in the bus....

He had to go!

Maybe, A380F? If you look closer: The A380F hasn't a nose-door (would be non-sens, or they need to belug (new verbform from Beluga )it up...
But, why not? There are many routes were they don't often need the nose-door. Budapest, for example is actually in the last months (from April) mosstly flown by the BCF (LX-ZCV and N741WA)

would be great

Good. If BUD doesn't need the NCD, then keep BCF right there. LX-ZCV is a piece of junk.
