The strategic plan aims to transform Liège Airport into a hub connected by rail, water and air, starting with the construction of three unloading warehouses.
In the first of a two part feature, Routesonline takes a closer look at the airports and destinations named finalists in the Routes Europe 2018 Marketing Awards.
The shortlists for the prestigious Routes Europe 2018 Marketing Awards have been revealed, with 17 airports and six destinations in the running for an award.
The addition of the routes from Liège will expand the VLM network to nine destinations in six countries and will continue a recent growth in passenger operations at Liège Bierset Airport, which is better known as a major European freight hub.
bmi regional will introduce the three new routes from the start of the summer 2015 schedule in late March and will offer up to two rotations per day to Liege and up to three a day to Berne and Rotterdam. The Liege route will be served by an Embraer ERJ-135, the Rotterdam link with a larger ERJ-145 and the Berne service by a mix of the two aircraft types.
