The environmental responsibility of air transport is an integral part of our strategy : we work for sustainable development and for an active policy to reduce environmental impacts ! Liege Airport also aims to be an airport that favors activities that make “sense” - pharmaceutical activity, humanitarian freight, biotech, etc.
Our ambition: to become the airport of the future, sustainable and innovative!
To provide quality infrastructure and services to develop air traffic.
The entire airport site acts as a lung breathing vitality 24 hours a day into an ever-growing number of businesses. Over 5,100 direct jobs have been created there and, every day, new employees are joining the “LIEGE AIRPORT community”. LIEGE AIRPORT shares its development and its success with these companies and all the players that make its region a real centre of logistics excellence.
Team spirit, professionalism, respect.
Team spirit reinforces the sense everyone has of belonging to a shared project. It promotes collaboration and brings enthusiasm and conviviality to human relationships. Our professionalism is based on the skills of each person and on the rigour every individual contributes to our work. This involves our customers’ satisfaction and a permanent quality approach. Respect for others requires listening to others and recognising their work: this approach then encourages personal motivation to flourish.
