“All the staff and partners of Liege Airport who are working 24/7, moving PPE shipment to hospitals all over the world, moving vaccines to the most needed, handling e-commerce cargo to European consumers day and night.”
“During this pandemic we’ve all been reminder of the crucial importance of our industry, and we are proud to carry that flag.”
“2021 is another exceptional historic year for our airport,” adds Selis.
“We are excited to share the news that last month we have passed 1 million tonnes of cargo, meaning a year-to-date growth of almost 40 per cent.”
