MSC Air Cargo (MAC) will use Liege Airport (LGG) as its European hub and has started its operations at Li\u00e8ge with a first landing on December 3rd, 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Following the delivery of the first of four MAC-branded Boeing 777-200F aircraft that will be operated by Atlas Air. MSC Air Cargo\u2019s first Boeing 777-200F will start with 4 rotations per week via Liege Airport. MAC operated their inaugural transatlantic service. It will operate regular services connecting both Mexico City and US airport Indianapolis with Liege. Additionally, round-the-world services will be operated via LGG. These routes will be dedicated to pharmaceutical products, perishable goods and high-value cargo. Handling services at LGG will be provided by Challenge Handling.<\/p>\n<p>With its unique cargo-only strategy, its strategic location at the heart of a large populated area, and benefitting from its many intermodal freight options (air, sea, road and rail), Liege Airport is the hub of a high-density European and global air network.<\/p>\n<p>Next 3 aircrafts will be delivered during 2023 and a further increase of weekly MAC freighter calls in LGG is expected. It\u2019s also good news for the environment because these aircrafts consume less fuel and make less noise.<\/p>\n<p>Laurent Jossart, CEO of Liege Airport, is pleased with the decision of MSC Air Cargo: \u201cWe are really proud to be hosting a world-renowned group such as MSC. We look forward to supporting MSC as it develops its airfreight business and further enhances its position as a global leader in transportation and logistics. The selection of Liege Airport shows once again not only that it has a prominent place in the world of cargo but also and above all that it is playing an important role in a multimodal vision of logistics. We are delighted to welcome MSC Air Cargo to Li\u00e8ge and to be vital partners in their projects\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About MSC Air Cargo<\/strong> : Founded in 1970, MSC is a privately owned transportation and logistics company headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p><strong>About Liege Airport<\/strong> : Liege Airport, the 5th cargo airport in Europe and 1st in Belgium, is the only European airport giving priority to full cargo (#freightersfirst).
