LGG cargo surge in 2021
Liege Airport saw strong renewed growth in 2021. Freight traffic reached 1,412,498 t (+26%), as opposed to 1,120,643 t in 2020. The amount of daytime flights and multi-modal options continued to increase, as did the number of humanitarian and pharmaceutical flights.
The 2021 figures for Liege Airport show a continuation of the trend seen in 2020, as CEO Laurent Jossart explains: “The global disruption of supply chains, and the lack of air-transport capacity in the holds of passenger aircraft, are trends that emerged in 2020 and that also spurred our growth in 2021. Humanitarian equipment, the pharmaceutical sector and healthcare (masks, vaccines, medicines) are the main market segments.” (cj)
