It 's a bit surrealistic ! They (marketing team) in fact discover their own weakness and failures.
Situation is not new. "Just walk to the talk", make it happen. ;)

I hope they stay and are not using LGG to increase pressure on AMS to get more traffic rights to operate into AMS. Currently they are limited to 7 and are using all of these rights. Bilateral talks are ongoing.

Huhu I hope not...
LGG was a option already a few months

Now ... 2 flights/week isn't very impressive

2 flights a week with B777F is not bad if you ask me.

But... it is not because you have an article published a few months this confirms your point. QR was already looking at this for a longer time and indeed LGG became an option after AMS not giving the traffic rights for more flights. It took QR also some time to get these traffic rights for direct flights from Nairobi into LGG.

That's incorrect QR will operate 10 weekly cargo flights into AMS as of June 2013 (they'll start a three weekly DOH-EBB-AMS-DOH rotation with the A330-200F next to the current flights). Moreover, they probably do have more traffic rights as they requested a daily DOH-AMS-PAX service in addition to their 7 weekly cargo flights (it's unclear if the cargo flights would increase if the pax flights would have started). However, without traffic rights between Kenya and The Netherlands, they couldn't do NBO-AMS (whiich is what they're after, but I doubt they'll get it as it's already a saturated market and KL/MP wasn't happy with QR starting EBB-AMS). As such I would think the LGG are "safe" (more as the rumours are that some LUX flights will move to AMS).

So you're saying that the LGG deal is a political difference between BE and NL regarding Kenya traffic rights ?
Why is it so difficult to get traffic rights ?

Because traffic rights are still used to protect: giving for example QR traffic rights to fly directly from Kenia to Amsterdam (withouth making a stop in Doha) will be direct competition to KLM/Martinair. And that might have a result on their revenues. Very few countries really have an open skies policy.

And to the topic QR / LGG: they come in with flowers and continue to Oslo. Flowers all go to AMS. But sincerely hope that they indeed stay in LGG and that info I got left and rights is wrong. Is good for Belgium that they, next to a daily pax also have cargo fligths and that not everything is going to AMS and FRA.

It's very likely that everything leaves for Holland by truck.
It isn't the first time that LGG profits from the proximity of the dutch border ... (ethiopian)

Panalpina is the first major Freight Forwarder moving into Liege Airport’s new Cargo City North

On February 27th Liege Airport – The Flexport - has officially opened the first building of the new Cargo City North. Cargo City North covers an area of more than hundred hectares of land directly accessing one of Liege Airport’s 2 runways. In a first development phase of 47 hectares, expected to be completed by 2014, first and second line infrastructure is being built to accommodate the growing presence of freight forwarders and Value Added Logistics providers at Liege Airport.

and less good news :
Liege Airport handled almost 12 percent less cargo during the first quarter. The airport handled 139,593 tonnes of cargo compared with 158,458 tonnes during the same period in 2012. This decrease reflects the fragile global economy, including the airfreight industry, the airport said.

Not really about the airport, but nice for Liège: CNN votes the new Liège Guillemins train station designed by Calatrava as second most stunning in the world, after Grand Central Station, New York.
