Liège joins Emirates Skycargo network

[ January 23, 2026   //   Chris Lewis ]

Emirates SkyCargo has added Liège to its freighter network, the airline’s first new destination of 2026.

The Belgian gateway is one of the world’s fastest-growing cargo hubs. In recent years, Emirates SkyCargo has served it with ad hoc freighters, shipping specialised products such as fresh-cut flowers and e-Commerce packages, as well as dedicated charters for horses travelling to global competitions.

But with sustained demand, Emirates will now deploy five weekly freighters, boosting available cargo capacity by 500 tonnes a week. Three will connect Liège with Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport and Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai to transport temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals. The other two freighters will originate in Hong Kong and carry e-Commerce shipments to and through Liege.
