DEVELOPMENT OF LUXAIRPORT

On the evening of 27 May, CHINALUX Event – Development of Lux-Airport attracted more than 120 people at the renowned Hôtel Le Royal in Luxembourg. Lux-Airport has evolved significantly since its establishment, driven by Luxembourg’s strategic position in the heart of Europe and its ambition to foster international connectivity. The event was sponsored by Lux-Airport, EY and China Construction Bank.

To start, Mr. Jacques Bortuzzo, Vice President of the China-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce, warmly welcomed the presence of CHINALUX members and friends, then continued with a brief introduction on the agenda and guest speaker.

Mr. Alexander Flassak, CEO, Lux-Airport, gave an impressive presentation on the current and future plans of the Luxembourg airport. Mr. Flassak mentioned that the Luxembourg airport has a rich history that mirrors the country’s development as a major financial and logistics hub in Europe. Today, the Luxembourg Airport is a state-of-the-art facility equipped with two passenger terminals, extensive cargo handling facilities, and advanced technological infrastructure. Mr. Flassak emphasized that Lux-Airport will reach its carbon neutral target in its plan. There will also be a first wooden building at the airport, the biggest wooden building in Europe. In terms of public access, the tram will merely take eight minutes from the airport to the business area in Kirchberg. Lux-Airport handles close to 5 million passengers annually and is a crucial hub for cargo traffic, particularly for perishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and high-value electronics. Its strategic location, coupled with Luxembourg’s business-friendly environment, has made it an attractive destination for airlines and logistics companies worldwide.

During the Q&A session, Mr. Jacques Bortuzzo acted as the moderator. CHINALUX members and friends raised various questions and showed great interest in the future of Lux-Airport. Mr. Flassak was glad to share his opinions with the audience.

A cocktail was later served for CHINALUX distinguished guests. Thanks again for your attendance and we look forward to seeing you soon.
