Quite an interesting airport, does a lot of cargo aswell - Cargolux, Air China cargo, and China Southern cargo do frequent flights here. Was also the airport where Norwegian stored and scrapped some of their 787s.

and some 737’s as well but they still do receive some planes from Norwegian, there’s a 787 here at the moment that came from storage, its unknown if its going back to service or being scrapped.
