According to CemAir, the symbiotic relationship between the two companies motivated the acquisition: LuxAir marketed the flights, sold the tickets and provided passenger handling whilst CemAir operated the aircraft and provided operational and logistical support.
As of Monday, 25 February 2013, all aspects of flights previously marketed by LuxAir, will be branded as and operated by CemAir.
