With 1.32 million tonnes handled across more than 26,000 cargo movements, LGG lands its second-best result since 2021’s pandemic peak. Growth was particularly strong on the export side, underlining the airport’s role as a key European gateway for outbound cargo flows. And the airport has seen growth in all other areas, too: employee numbers, customers, and facility development. 

“We talked about “Freight Meets Magic” when we launched CARGOLAND by LGG at the Air Cargo Europe in Munich earlier this year, and that magic has since shown itself in every aspect of our business,” says Laurent Jossart, Chief Executive Officer of LGG. “First off, is the double-digit increase we have seen in cargo volumes through every quarter of this year, bringing us to a forecasted total of 1.32 million tonnes by the end of 2025 – a figure unsurpassed except for the extraordinary year during the pandemic: 2021". 

The increase in airline partners led to destination growth, particularly across Latin America, Canada, and a reinforcement of the Asian market. The unique ‘sister airport’ agreement that CARGOLAND by LGG signed with Chicago Rockford International Airport (RFD) in October 2025, will further increase freighter traffic, as it develops a dedicated transatlantic freighter corridor linking both cargo-centric, e‑commerce‑heavy hubs.

 A community focus on establishing operational and quality standards in 2025, supported operational efficiency despite external challenges impacting cargo flows. CARGOLAND by LGG also actively advanced its digitalization strategy through platforms like LGG Tracking, leading to greater transparency, fewer process errors, and better interoperability.
