Urban Research & Practice, 2014, vol. 7, issue 3, 337-353

Abstract: This paper discusses regional development in the context of logistics hub strategies, particularly in the air cargo business. It illustrates the associated potential and dilemmas with respect to a case study conducted in Luxembourg, the capital city of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, and its emergence as a global hub for airfreight shipments. For comparative reasons, the paper also sheds light on the Leipzig–Halle Airport, Germany. Both cases illustrate the potential and limitations of international hubs to bring local and regional development forward.
