Ethiopian Cargo and Logistics Services and Liege Airport, the Ethiopian cargo hub in Europe, have celebrated 17 years of successful partnership.
The two organizations reaffirmed their commitment to boosting freighter operations and strengthening the strategic alliance that has significantly connected Europe to Africa and beyond.
Over the past 17 years, Ethiopian Cargo has played a crucial role in positioning Liege Airport as a leading cargo hub in Europe. In 2023, Ethiopian uplifted approximately 160,000 tons of cargo from Liege, ensuring efficient and reliable transportation of goods between Europe, Africa, and the rest of the world.
Celebrating the partnership, Mr. Mesfin Tasew, Ethiopian Airlines Group CEO, remarked, “This partnership has been instrumental in Ethiopian Cargo’s success as a global leader in the air cargo industry. Liege Airport provides us with a strategic location and world-class infrastructure, enabling us to offer our customers seamless and efficient cargo solutions. We are grateful to the management of Liege Airport and our stakeholders for the unwavering support we have received over the past 17 years.”
Laurent Jossart, CEO of Liege Airport, expressed his pleasure, saying, “We are delighted with our long-term partnership with Ethiopian Cargo. Ethiopian is a magnificent success story and continues to grow here. The company links different continents (Africa, Asia, Europe, North and South America, Middle East) with a fleet of state-of-the-art aircraft. Their Boeing 777s have an average age of 7 years and are among the most efficient aircraft in terms of noise and environmental performance. We are honored by Ethiopian’s confidence in Liege Airport, and we will always be at their side to help them in their development.”
