11,735 jobs and 10,405 full-time equivalent positions were tied to Liege Airport’s ecosystem in 2024, according to a new University of Liège-led economic impact study covering 143 companies.
775 more jobs than in 2021 came as cargo and logistics operators expanded and new businesses arrived, offsetting losses from restructuring and company closures elsewhere in the sector.
84% of direct airport jobs are held by Province of Liège residents, while 96% are permanent contracts and 88% sit in the private sector.
12,600 jobs could be supported in 2025 if cargo performance stays strong and demand for logistics services keeps rising.
€500 million in planned airport investment is meant to extend Liege’s international reach as Walloon officials position it as a strategic logistics and trade hub.
