Dit was het op \u00e9\u00e9n na beste jaar ooit, na het record van meer dan 1,41 miljoen ton dat in 2021 werd gevestigd.<\/p>\n<p>De meest spectaculaire groei kwam van e-commercepakketten: meer dan 351 miljoen, wat neerkomt op ruim 1,35 miljard e-commercepakketten die via de luchthaven zijn verwerkt.<\/p>\n<p>Deze stijging van het verwerkte vrachttonnage zet zich ook in 2026 voort. Van januari tot en met mei noteerde de luchthaven een groei van 10% ten opzichte van dezelfde periode vorig jaar.<\/p>\n<p>Daarnaast gaat AirBaltic in oktober vluchten naar Luik uitvoeren, waardoor de luchthaven na het vertrek van TUI fly eerder dit jaar weer passagiersvluchten gaat aanbieden \u2013 met name naar de Canarische Eilanden.<\/p>\n<h4>Onzekerheden<\/h4>\n<p>Toch is het niet allemaal rozengeur en maneschijn. De oorlog in het Midden-Oosten en de vrijwel volledige afsluiting van de Straat van Hormuz zorgen voor onzekerheid en vooral voor een sterke stijging van de kerosineprijzen, wat onvermijdelijk gevolgen zal hebben voor de sector.<\/p>\n<p>En vanaf begin juli wordt er een Europese pakketbelasting van \u20ac 3 geheven op elk pakket met een waarde van minder dan \u20ac 150 dat de EU binnenkomt. Niemand weet precies wat de gevolgen hiervan zullen zijn, maar er wordt verwacht dat de volumes zullen dalen.<\/p>\n<p>30% van het totale volume op de luchthaven van Luik bestaat uit import via Chinese e-commerce, en 20% van het totale volume bestaat uit export naar China.<\/p>\n<p>Bovendien is het moeilijk in te schatten wat de gevolgen zullen zijn van het besluit van het Waals Gewest, de meerderheidsaandeelhouder van de luchthavens van Luik en Charleroi, om de mogelijkheid te onderzoeken om zijn belang af te stoten ten gunste van particuliere investeerders.<\/p>\n<p>Het onderzoek van de Universiteit van Luik \u2013 dat, toevallig of niet, verschijnt op een moment dat de Waalse regering overweegt haar aandeel te herzien \u2013 bevestigt dat de luchthaven van Luik, met haar ongeveer 12.000 banen, een belangrijke economische motor is voor Walloni\u00eb en wijst daarmee op gunstige omstandigheden voor een mogelijke openstelling van het kapitaal.<\/p>\n<h4>Geluidsoverlast<\/h4>\n<p>Vorig jaar hebben verschillende gemeenten in Belgi\u00eb en Nederland echter beroep aangetekend bij de Raad van State tegen de nieuwe milieuvergunning die door de Waalse regering was afgegeven.<\/p>\n<p>Zij stellen dat de regelgeving niet streng genoeg is wat betreft geluidsoverlast door nachtvluchten en dat de grensoverschrijdende gevolgen voor de gezondheid en het milieu niet voldoende zijn onderzocht.<\/p>\n<p>Meer particulier kapitaal kan weliswaar extra investeringsmiddelen voor capaciteitsuitbreiding opleveren, maar het verloop van de vergunningsprocedure is erg wisselvallig. Nog voordat de Raad van State uitspraak kan doen, trekt de bevoegde Waalse minister de vergunning in en start hij de procedure opnieuw.<\/p>\n<p>Dit leidt tot een juridisch grijs gebied, terwijl omwonenden bovendien vrezen dat een luchthaven die meer commercieel geori\u00ebnteerd is, minder geneigd zal zijn om geluidsoverlast te beperken ten koste van de groei.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Li\u00e8ge Airport, Belgium&#8217;s largest cargo airport, started 2026 on a growth trajectory and expects to set a record this year.
