Next to the 4 new warehouses of airbridgecargo ?

Anyone knows the exact location of the new building ?

Number 7 on this map ! 3 buildings in total. Big vertical building on the right side initially.

[Acid-drop]

Very nice map, thanks !
All clear now: they have a lot of work
(And they indeed need to destroy a recently build road)

[SR20]

Next ones to be relocated will probably be Heli&Co !

[Acid-drop]

I cant wait that qatar buys the rest of the land there.
The dual hub with lux makes no sense...

The shorter runway is going to be extended until 3300 meters...

The shorter runway is going to be extended until 3300 meters...

Indeed. As Liege Airport plans to close RWY 04R/22L for renovation works (around year 2026), RWY 04L/22R will be first extended to 3300 meters in order to accomodate wide bodies during closure of RWY 04R/22L.

Furthermore this is also a first step for the capacity increase of RWY 22L as traffic coming from the northern apron won't have to cross the main runway anymore to reach the holding point.
According to SOWAER, the aim is to reach eventually a capacity of 40 movements/hour (now runway capacity is around 27 movements/hour). In their 2018 activity report, they even mention a change in flight procedures. I don't know what they mean !

[Acid-drop]

So that secondary runway is a fancy taxiway
Good explanation.

Whats the source of your aerial img btw ?
It seems quite recent
