Brussels Airport reported a substantial 12% year-on-year increase in its total cargo volume for May, amounting to 75,847 tons. The primary catalyst for this growth was the flown air freight segment, which expanded by 12.3% compared to the same period last year.
For freight forwarders and logistics professionals, this sustained growth at Brussels Airport indicates a healthy air cargo market. Increased volumes typically suggest consistent demand, which can lead to stable capacity and potentially more competitive pricing for air freight services. Forwarders should monitor BRU's performance as a key European hub, especially for specialized cargo, given its consistent growth trajectory.
