Cargolux added Shannon, Ireland to its global network, and the inaugural flight landed in Shannon on June 9 directly from Seattle.
"The weekly frequency is routed Los Angeles-Seattle-Shannon-Luxembourg, bolstering the airline's transatlantic services," an official statement said.
The introduction of Shannon is an opportunity for Cargolux to meet growing customer demand and expand its presence in the British Isles, the statement added.

"Shannon is a thriving commercial gateway, and we look forward to building our partnerships in the region."
Cargolux has been operating ad-hoc flights into Shannon for several years, and the regular service cements the airline's commitment to business in the region, the statement said.
