Belgium is increasing its share of the regional air cargo market as Dutch airports experience a gradual decline in freight volumes, highlighting a shifting balance in Benelux logistics flows.
The growth in Belgium is being supported by expanding cargo handling capacity, improved connectivity, and stronger engagement from logistics operators seeking alternative gateways in the region. This has allowed Belgian airports to attract more freight traffic and strengthen their position in European supply chains.
Meanwhile, Dutch airports are facing competitive pressure amid capacity constraints and shifting airline preferences, leading to a relative loss in market share.
Industry observers note that the trend reflects broader adjustments in European air cargo routing, where shippers and carriers are diversifying airport usage to improve efficiency and reduce bottlenecks.
The ongoing shift is expected to continue as infrastructure investments and airline network decisions reshape cargo distribution across the Benelux region.
