A new record in 2019 for Liege Airport

January 17, 2020

Despite a global economic slowdown, Liege Airport has achieved a new record with over 900,000 tonnes of goods transported in 2019.

Liege Airport continues to develop, with a new record of 902.480 tonnes (+3.6%) of transported goods compared with 870.644 tonnes in 2018.

The activity of the air cargo sector slowed globally in 2019. Brexit and the trade war between China and the United States considerably influenced world trade and, as a result, the transport of goods.
