LGG Connect, CargoLand’s community initiative, promotes collaboration among all on-site cargo stakeholders—airlines, handlers, forwarders, logistics companies, and public authorities—under the guiding principle: “Support, Share, Grow.”
This collaborative model is central to Liege Airport’s ambition to become a benchmark for international cargo excellence.
