Specialist airfreight carriers belonging to businessman Alexey Isaykin – the Russia-based Volga-Dnepr Group (VDG) and UK-registered sister company CargoLogicAir (CLA) – are to establish a regional hub for VDG and CLA at Liège Airport (LGG), Belgium’s biggest cargo airport, with the provision of up to 30 cargo flights a week, bringing an additional capacity of some 300,000 tonnes.
