Leipzig/Halle Airport, is Europe’s fifth-largest airfreight hub, saw its cargo volume increase to 114,502 tons last month, which is 5.4% higher than in April. LEJ (Leipzig/Halle) said in a statement “In the midst of this global crisis, we are again asserting ourselves as a dynamically growing cargo airport.” LEJ attributed part of its airfreight grown to its 24-hour operating permit for cargo flights, as well as its direct connections to the trans-European motorway and rail network.
