Brussels Airport

Brussels Airport may be the busiest airport when it comes to moving coronavirus vaccines by air.

Pharmaceutical companies often get nervous that carelessness by a transportation provider will spoil a shipment of COVID vaccines or other medicines. Airfreight experts say data sharing and teamwork can eliminate most glitches.

The first airports are releasing cargo performance data for 2020. Hong Kong and Amsterdam took a hit.

Some Top 20 cargo airports still can’t get above water in terms of freight volume because there aren’t enough passenger planes flying.

Express carriers UPS and DHL helped push Brussels Airport into the black for June’s cargo volume. Most airports during the pandemic haven’t been able to make up for the loss of passenger flights on which so much cargo typically flows.
