Air Cargo Hubs in Belgium

Liège Airport (LGG)

Liège Airport is one of the main cargo gateways used for international freight operations in Belgium. The airport handles freighter traffic and can accommodate palletised commercial cargo, larger consignments and shipments requiring main-deck capacity.

Cargo can be collected in Belgium or brought to LGG by road from the Netherlands, Germany, France and other European locations when a departure from Liège suits the required route.

Current departure schedules and published rates from Liège are available on the Air Freight Rates and Costs page.

Brussels Airport (BRU)

Brussels Airport provides access to international passenger and cargo airline networks and can be used for both inbound and outbound commercial freight.

The choice between LGG and BRU is made after checking the cargo dimensions, weight, commodity, routing and required shipping date.
