My Platform for Logistics
International trade and humanitarian aid efforts depend in certain ways upon fast, reliable, and safe transport of goods. Airlines that are focusing on cargo operations provide these unique transportation services throughout their respective global networks. Besides operating and developing these networks, cargo airlines require dedicated cargo services and infrastructures on the ground, in order to enable effective and efficient intermodal air cargo logistics. A sophisticated airport – like Luxembourg Airport – that not only fulfills the specific needs of cargo aircraft operations but also supports its air cargo community is a platform for logistics.
Luxembourg Airport is one of the leading European platforms for global air cargo logistics with its unique infrastructure and dedicated services for cargo aircraft operations. As a result, Luxembourg Airport consistently ranks among the Top European Cargo airports for annual tonnes of handled air cargo.
The key cargo-related features of Luxembourg Airport are:
- Cargo dedicated airport in the heart of Europe integrated into global air cargo networks
- Infrastructure and services focused on freighter aircraft operations
- Best-in-class freighter turnaround times
- Short distances from aircraft to trucks
- Direct access to major European highways
- GDP-compliance certified platform for pharmaceutical goods
- Established and successful cargo community

CARGO COMMUNITY
Moving goods by air transport in a fast, reliable, and safe manner on a global scale requires a professional and well-synchronized air cargo logistics chain. Traditionally, air transport of goods is conducted by professional partners in a business-to-business environment. According to the specific transportation needs, the required air cargo logistics chain is orchestrated by freight forwarders and involves airlines, as well as a number of other essential contributors from the commercial and governmental side.
