A representative of Chongqing Airport management added: “The launch of this direct scheduled service to Liege marks an important step in expanding Chongqing’s international cargo network. This new connection strengthens trade links with Europe and enhances Chongqing’s role as a key logistics hub in Western China.”

With this new scheduled service, Liege Airport continues to expand its Asian cargo network and strengthen long-term partnerships with international cargo airlines, supporting the evolving needs of global logistics and cross-border trade.
