CargoLand by LGG has deepened its pharmaceutical logistics offering through a new partnership with Emirates SkyCargo, introducing scheduled freighter services that significantly expand capacity for temperature-sensitive healthcare shipments. After several years of sustained ad hoc operations, Emirates SkyCargo will now operate five weekly Boeing 777 freighters into Liège, making LGG the airline’s first new freighter destination of 2026 and reinforcing the airport’s position as a key European life-sciences gateway.
Three of the weekly freighter rotations will link LGG with Chicago O’Hare and Al Maktoum International Airport in Dubai, establishing a high-frequency intercontinental corridor connecting Europe, North America and the Middle East. The services are designed to support end-to-end pharmaceutical supply chains, with a strategic forwarding partner coordinating door-to-door flows and ensuring full cold-chain integrity in line with LGG’s specialised pharma infrastructure and 24/7 freighter-first operations.
Julian Sutch, Head of Cool Chain Products at Emirates SkyCargo, said: “Moving time- and temperature-sensitive pharmaceuticals across the world relies on seamless synchronization, stringent cool chain infrastructure and expert handling, and so working with the right partners makes all the difference. Through this collaboration, we will elevate our Life Science and Healthcare offering from Belgium and broader Europe, connecting to other key global pharma markets quickly and reliably.” For CargoLand by LGG, the new services align with its marketplace-driven strategy, strengthening collaboration between airlines, forwarders and the airport to support sustainable growth and deliver increased value to global healthcare customers.
