Cargolux

Cargolux Airlines International S.A. is Europe's largest all-cargo airline, headquartered at Luxembourg Findel Airport in Luxembourg and operating a global Boeing 747 freighter network under IATA designator CV and air waybill prefix 172 (with Cargolux Italia on prefix 356). In the logistics chain Cargolux is the main-leg air carrier: it sells capacity to freight forwarders and general sales agents rather than to shippers, hands cargo to terminal and ground handling operators such as its Luxcargo Handling subsidiary, and files customs and security data on behalf of the contracted forwarder. Its API posture is honestly a customer-contract one. Cargolux publishes no developer portal and no machine-readable contract of any kind — developer.cargolux.com, developers.cargolux.com and docs.cargolux.com do not resolve, and /developers, /api, /openapi.json, /swagger.json, /api-docs and /.well-known/ all return 404 on www.cargolux.com. The only public self-service surfaces are HTML: a track-and-trace widget and a flight scheduler on the marketing site, plus a login-walled Customer Portal at my.cargolux.com. A real quote-and- booking API exists, but it is a bilateral, commercially negotiated forwarder interface — piloted with Kuehne+Nagel in 2021 and extended to DB Schenker — with no published reference, and it is complemented by indirect distribution through the cargo.one, CargoAi and WebCargo by Freightos marketplaces. Underneath, Cargolux runs IBS Software's iCargo SaaS cargo management system and holds a large minority stake in Luxembourg's CHAMP Cargosystems, whose developer.champ.aero portal is the developer surface Cargolux's ecosystem actually reads — CHAMP's, not Cargolux's. IATA e-AWB "Single Process" is documented; no IATA ONE Record or Cargo-XML publication was found.

Cargolux is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Logistics, Supply Chain, Luxembourg, Air Cargo, and Airlines.

Cargolux’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, and 17 more developer resources.

scored 2026-11-13 · rubric v0.28.0
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
  • Machine-Readable Contract +18 pts — api_specs includes an OpenAPI document Ask about this →
  • MCP Server +12 pts — deployment.mode + probe verdict on the mcp/ manifest, not the pointer; an unprobed slug falls back to authorship Ask about this →
  • Agentic Access Contract +10 pts — agentic_access artifact present (x-agentic-access), graded by author Ask about this →
  • Machine-Readable Auth +10 pts — a served openid-configuration/oauth-authorization-server carrying `issuer` (served), else the securitySchemes class in the provider OpenAPIs — bound (mutualTLS, DPoP, Signature) > negotiable (oauth2 authorizationCode/clientCredentials, openIdConnect) > bearer (http bearer, apiKey) Ask about this →
  • Idempotency +9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented) Ask about this →
  • Stable Error Semantics +8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes Ask about this →

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it.

imageNote: The `image` property was removed on 2026-08-26. It had been copied verbatim out of a bootstrap template and pointed
  at an icon belonging to groq, not to this company. That asset returns HTTP 200, so the record rendered another company's
  brand rather than a broken image, which is why it went unreported (roadmap#153). No correct icon has been sourced yet. Shipping
  the wrong company's mark is worse than shipping none; re-run the icon backfill once a real asset exists.
