January 30 - Cargolux Airlines International has reported that a search for a new chief executive officer has begun, headed up by the company's board of directors.

Frank Reimen resigned as the Luxembourg airline's president and ceo during August 2012; Richard Forson has since held the role of interim ceo.

Cargolux reiterated that no decision regarding a potential successor to Forson has been made at this point, and moved to dispel any media rumours contrary to this fact.

Cargolux did however state that leadership and consultancy firm Spencer Stuart had been commissioned to identify interested candidates and shortlist a number of suitable individuals for the post.
