Liege Airport (LGG) has recorded consistent growth for the past nine months, with significant increases in both cargo aircraft movements and tonnage. In September 2024, cargo flights increased by 18% compared to the same month in 2023, with 2,267 flights versus 1,920. The total cargo tonnage also rose by 11%, from 80,282 tons in September 2023 to 89,338 tonnes in September 2024.
This growth is largely driven by strong demand from the Asia-Pacific and MESA regions, which are expected to further impact the air cargo system in the final quarter of the year.
Additionally, Liege Airport hosted the first “EU Cross Border E-Commerce Forum” in mid-September, where industry leaders discussed the impact of e-commerce on air cargo, customs compliance, and logistical challenges.
