First Liege air freight congress tastes like more (+ PHOTOS)

In 1997, Israeli CAL Cargo Air Lines launched its first flights between Liège and Tel Aviv with perishables on board. The beginning of a great story, also said Offer Gilboa, CEO of CAL: “We feel part of the family here.” In those 20 years, Liege Airport grew enormously as a cargo airport. Just this year, it was awarded as the world’s best air cargo airport in the category between 0.4 and 1 million tonnes. Moreover, it is Belgium’s largest cargo airport, number 8 in Europe. “Maybe even place 7 is in it because last year the backlog was not that big and this year we are heading towards 800,000 tonnes, an absolute record for Liege Airport,” Gilboa added.
