The all-cargo airline said the ban, which will also apply to its Cargolux ltalia unit, is in response to growing concerns about the adverse effects of these products on public health and the environment.

With this action, we hope to help reduce the availability of these products in the market. As a responsible corporate citizen, Cargolux aims to encourage other logistics operators to take similar measures.
The airline added that single-use e-cigarettes join an "ever-expanding list" that Cargolux refuses to transport on routes across its global network for ethical reasons.air shipping agent
This is not the first time e-cigarettes have made headlines in air cargo. Back in 2022, Hong Kong banned the transshipment of these products through its territory to prevent them from reaching the local market.
However, in 2023, Hong Kong's policy readjustment changed and opened the e-cigarette transport channel.
