ETHIOPIAN Airlines Cargo has signed up for another five years at Belgium's Liege Airport, thus continuing its role as a freighter gateway between Africa and Europe until 2026, reports London's Air Cargo News.
Said Ethiopian: 'In the next five years, we will work to transform our freighter operation to serve Europe better with our renewed commitment with Liege Airport. As the largest pan African carrier, ethiopian Airlines will continue to strengthen its partnership with Liege Airport to boost its freighter operations between Africa and Europe.'
Said Liege Airport vice president Steven Verhasselt: 'In the future a dedicated cargo hub can be established in Liege North, for which Ethiopian was the launch customer to start with.'
Mr Verhasselt said that since Ethiopian began flying to the airport 15 years ago, the airline has operated 15,000 freighter flights into LGG and is approaching one million tonnes of cargo carried.
