Swissport adds 3rd air cargo centre in Liège, Belgium

Swissport International continues to grow at Liège Airport, Belgium, adding a third air cargo centre at one of Europe’s major gateways for international air cargo. The extension is driven by additional capacity for eCommerce and forwarder handling, expanding the overall capacity by 17 per cent to 27,000 square metres.

With the addition of a third, brand-new air cargo terminal at the airport of Liège in Belgium, Swissport expands its total surface space to 27,000 sq. m, making it the largest air cargo handler at the logistics hub. Located in a second line just behind its existing two air cargo centres, the terminal expansion enables Swissport to offer a wide range of handling services at unparalleled capacity. In a step aligned with Swissport’s global cargo strategy, the product portfolio now includes forwarder handling, eCommerce processing and sorting, import trucking, and specialised build-up/break-down operations for brokers, airlines, and others. The new, Customs bonded facility, which opened last month, adds 4,000 sq. m to Swissport’s capacity of now 27,000 sq. m, said a release.
