Suparna Airlines has expanded its Asia-Europe network with the addition of flights connecting Chongqing and Liege.

The Chinese airline launched the flights on 5 January utilising Boeing 777 metal.

Liege Airport said the new flight marked its first direct air cargo connection between Liege Airport and Chongqing.

“This new route represents an important strategic addition to Liege Airport’s cargo network and establishes Chongqing as a key new gateway linking Western China with Europe’s biggest freighter hub,” Liege Airport said in a press release.

The Belgian hub described Chongqing as one of China’s major industrial, logistics, and e-commerce hubs and added that the city plays a critical role in global supply chains.

The new connection will carry e-commerce goods, high-tech products, automotive components, and industrial cargo.

Torsten, vice president sales & marketing at Liege Airport, commented: “Chongqing is an important new addition to our network and further confirms Liege’s role as the most trusted and efficient gateway between China and Europe.”

The airport added: ”With this new scheduled service, Liege Airport continues to expand its Asian cargo network and strengthen long-term partnerships with international cargo airlines, supporting the evolving needs of global logistics and cross-border trade.”

The airline added a second 777 freighter towards the end of last year, following the delivery of its first of the model earlier in 2025.
