Liege Air Cargo Handling Services (LACHS, Liege) exported 180 horses and 80 tons of equipment to the Rio Olympic Games, with more to follow.
The transportation required five charter flights to collect horses and equipment from 32 different federations. All the horses were stabled before the flights in the brand new horse inn managed by LACHS. Some of the horses arrived a day before the flight to ensure maximum rest before the events.
This week LACHS will be operating five charter import flights to return the horses and equipment.
In September LACHS will handle two flights with 70 horses for the Paralympic games, taking place in Rio. On the same day, together with CAL Cargo Airlines, it will handle an additional charter to YYC (66 horses).
In mid-September the operation will be repeated: 66 horses will be transported for the Longines Masters in Los Angeles.
In May 2016 LACHS was awarded a three-year contract to manage the Horse Inn at Liege Airport. The Horse Inn is intended for horses being transported by air and to accommodate them during transit by road. It represents a total investment of €2.6 million. The new infrastructure is designed to upgrade Liege’s overall service provision for the transportation of live horses.
“Horse transport movements are delicate and sensitive,” said Yossi Shoukroun, LACHS General Manager. “As experts in the transport of non-standard cargo such as live animals, we have invested a tremendous amount to ensure top-of-the-line infrastructure for this valuable cargo.

Bad news for Liege: end of the Chinese charter flights at the end of September. They brought in some 130,000 passengers since April 2015. The three weekly charters planned for the winter season are cancelled with the end of the cooperation between Chinese tour operator U-Tour and Russian airline I-Fly.
But there is still hope that U-Tour can find a new airline to restart the flights to Liege. Air Belgium?

Contingency solutions for Charleroi and Liege airports
The agreements include that, in this special case, air traffic controllers from DFS or DSNA on request of Belgocontrol would use special procedures for approaches and departures for Charleroi and Liege airports.
Charleroi airport (source: Belgocontrol)
In autumn 2016 the FABEC air navigation services providers DFS and DSNA signed agreements with their partner organisation Belgocontrol to support business continuity in Belgian airspace and especially the accessibility to Charleroi and Liege airports in case of a black-out or similar events, such as the power outage on 27 May 2015 in the Belgian air traffic control centre CANAC 2. The agreements include that, in this special case, air traffic controllers from DFS or DSNA on request of Belgocontrol would use special procedures for approaches and departures for Charleroi and Liege airports. Similar procedures will be developed at the other Belgian public airports in Ostend, Brussels and Antwerp involving other FABEC air navigation service providers.
For arrivals at or departures from Charleroi airport, an agreement has been concluded with the French air navigation service provider DSNA, allowing airplanes to be guided by the Charleroi approach control unit up to the Belgian border. Subsequently, the aircraft can continue its route under the supervision of the Lille approach control unit in France. For Liege a similar agreement was reached with the German air navigation service provider DFS that will support with air traffic control operations provided by their control centre in Langen near Frankfurt. A special emergency file containing adapted flight paths and flight profiles has been compiled in collaboration with EUROCONTROL. It will launch the procedures at the request of Belgocontrol so that the planned flights can continue to take place.

Liege Airport renews partnership with El Al Cargo
Dec 12, 2016: Liege Airport has extended its partnership with El Al Cargo for another three years for the transportation of air cargo between the USA and Israel via Liege. Liege Airport has been serving as El Al Cargo’s European cargo hub since 2008 for exports to the European and U.S. markets and imports into Israel.
El Al and Liege Airport’s eight years partnership has been very successful. Trade between Israel, Europe and the US remains good and stable. By leveraging the operational excellence of El Al Cargo, Israel’s national cargo operator, and the state-of-the-art cargo facilities and services at Liege Airport, the growth of El Al is the reflection of a strong market.
