Swissport invests more than 5 million euro in its activities at Liege Airport

The agreement treats three elements: 

1. The expansion of the current cargo warehouse’s surface, located in the 

south zone (from 3,900 m² to 6,500 m²); 

2. The renting of a new warehouse with a surface of 6.200 m² in the north 

zone, which was recently constructed by Liege Airport Business Park, a 

subsidiary of Liege Airport; 

3. An investment amounting to 5.2 million euro in new equipment among 

which facilities with climate control for storage and treatment of 

temperature-sensitive goods. 

The surface useable for cargo handling increases from 3,900 m² to 12,700 m². 

Furthermore, Swissport has recently acquired the licenses from the Walloon 

authorities allowing it to provide ground-handling services on the runway, both 

of cargo and passengers. Besides that, Swissport could already perform cargo 

handling in warehouses. 

Luc Partoune, General Director at Liege Airport, is very pleased with these 

developments: “Our airport becomes increasingly important every year and our 

agreement with such a reliable partner as Swissport supports this. These 

mutual investments provide a strong signal for the future growth of the airport 

and for an ever better service. Liege Airport Business Park has, moreover, 

decided to invest in a new warehouse with a supplementary surface of more 

than 6,000 m² following the agreement”. 

Patrick Minsart, General Manager Swissport Belgium, is also positive about this 

agreement: “These investments show that Swissport has the intention to grow 

at and with Liege Airport. We are convinced that with can contribute to the 

successes of our client airline companies with our new working methods and 

the latest technology. Moreover, our increased capacity at the airport thanks to 

the new warehouse will relieve our current saturated warehouse and it will 

create new business opportunities for both parties”.
