December 10 - The Luxembourg government is prepared to buy the 35 percent shareholding in the Duchy's home-based B747 freighter operator Cargolux after Qatar Airways said it would pull out of its stakeholding in the carrier.

It was also confirmed in the Luxembourg parliament that the government is in talks with the Chinese HNA Group, which operates the Yangtze River Express freighter fleet, as well as other potential bidders.
