LEJ and LGG buck the trend
Leipzig/Halle airport (LEJ) is holding its ground in the coronavirus crisis and has registered strong demand in its cargo business sector in Q1/2020 too. Despite the drastic effects on international air traffic caused by the pandemic, the German airport almost maintained the same level of freight volumes as in 2019, handling only 1.5% less of freight (297,315 t). This means that LEJ was able to buck the national trend: cargo tonnage at German airports fell by 8.1% on average between January and March.
Similarly structured Liege airport (LGG) says its cargo community "leads the logistics line in the European fight against coronavirus". Already one month ago, within one week more than 600 freighters, with nearly 20,000 t of cargo on board, arrived at and departed from the Belgian airport. (ah)
