Kalitta Air has resumed its operations between Brussels Airport and Cincinnati, operating six flights per week on behalf of DHL Express. The route is serviced by the Boeing 777 Freighter, the most fuel-efficient cargo aircraft currently in use, highlighting a commitment to sustainability and efficient logistics.
The resumption of this direct transatlantic service places a particular emphasis on time-sensitive cargo, including pharmaceuticals and life sciences—sectors that are central to Brussels Airport’s long-term cargo strategy. This service not only caters to the growing demand in the express cargo segment but also reflects the increasing need to maintain resilient logistics chains for temperature-controlled and high-value goods.
A Brussels Airport spokesperson expressed pride in welcoming Kalitta Air back, emphasizing the vital role these six weekly flights play in supporting exporters and importers. These flights ensure speed and efficiency for mission-critical shipments, further enhancing the airport’s position as a key hub for global logistics.
As a specialist in pharma logistics, Brussels Airport is further bolstering its role with CEIV Pharma certification, dedicated infrastructure, and strong partnerships with airlines like Kalitta Air. These efforts position the airport as a leading hub for temperature-sensitive cargo, ensuring continued growth and service excellence in the logistics sector.
