OCTOBRE 2017<br />

Steinhaus continues: “Our short distance<br />

from the Indoor Parking to the aircraft<br />

is an advantage you will not find in<br />

larger airports. Our airport seamlessly<br />

combines the destination choices of a large<br />

international airport with the tranquillity of<br />

a small regional one”.<br />

In addition, a new Terminal reserved<br />

for flights in the Schengen area as well<br />

as regional aircraft, e.g. from Luxair,<br />

Lufthansa or KLM, will open in the<br />

summer to provide the highest service level<br />

to passengers.<br />

“Terminal B will increase the capacity of the<br />

airport by about one million passengers. In<br />

addition, it will strongly reduce the number<br />

of bus transfers as many aircrafts will be<br />

parked at the terminal and will provide the<br />

possibility to offer priority boarding”, adds<br />

Steinhaus.<br />

Logistics hub<br />

FINANCE<br />

Lux-Airport not only connects travellers<br />

to Europe and beyond but also acts as a<br />

major logistics hub, offering airfreight<br />

connections worldwide.<br />

“With 821.000 tons of cargo in 2016,<br />

Luxembourg is the 6th largest cargo airport<br />

in Europe. We see the cooperation with all<br />

logistic players in the Luxembourg cluster,<br />

developing the advantages of Luxembourg<br />

as a multimodal hub, as the key to our<br />

future success”, says Steinhaus.<br />

While Cargolux remains by far<br />

Luxembourg’s Airport’s largest customer,<br />

with a 82% market share, other leading<br />

international airlines are taking a more<br />

important role such as Qatar Airways and<br />

Atlas followed by China Airlines and Silk<br />

Way West Airlines.<br />

Busy Future<br />

In the future, the airport will play an even<br />

more important role in Luxembourg’s<br />

economy. “The airport will grow in<br />

harmony with the economic growth of<br />

Luxembourg and the Greater Region. It<br />

will be an important engine for this growth.<br />

New aircraft types will open the possibility<br />

of new longer direct routes avoiding<br />

transfers, for example to the US east coast”.<br />

Throughout the passenger journey, digital<br />

technology will be key to improve customer<br />

experience and make airport processes<br />

more efficient.<br />

“In the short-term, we will implement a<br />

pre-booking possibility for our car park,<br />

mobile terminal maps and real-time<br />

schedule information for public transport.<br />

Digitalization is the trend at airports and<br />

offers a lot of possibilities, but we will only<br />

implement solutions where we see a real<br />

advantage for our passengers”, concludes<br />

Steinhaus. n<br />
