Brussels Airport opens the door to the world and creates thousands of jobs

Brussels Airport opens the door to the world and creates thousands of jobs

The airport opens the door to the rest of the world and ensures that we can conveniently travel to meet our family, to take a short break or to do business. 

In addition, the direct connections between Brussels Airport and other cities in the world also strengthen the role of Brussels as capital and centre of Europe. 

Brussels Airport brings the world to your front door

Nowadays, people are ordering more and more products online and expect the shortest possible delivery time for their new smartphone or laptop, clothing or food. Even if these products come from the other side of the world. Companies also order the goods they need on the worldwide market and demand fast delivery. 

Brussels Airport is already making that possible today. With additional investments in storage capacity in the cargo area, modifications to the runway infrastructure and the further development of the economic fabric on the airport, Brussels Airport will be in a position to provide even better service in the decades ahead. 

Brussels Airport facilitates and boosts economic growth

Direct connections with other countries also facilitate the economic cooperation with these countries and their companies. They attract visitors and tourists to Belgium and thus create direct jobs at the airport and a multitude of indirect jobs in hotels, catering companies, conference centres, taxi services etc. They offer local companies rapid and efficient export possibilities and attract foreign companies and investments.

Good connectivity can generate economic growth because the country obtains easier access to other markets, the companies can connect better with each other and provide a greater access to the international capital markets.

Brussels Airport offers a logistics platform, the growth driver for key industries

The airport is one large logistics platform, crucial for the import and export of goods in our country. Key industries, such as pharma, chemicals, fresh products, e-commerce etc. rely on Brussels Airport for the rapid and high-quality shipment or receipt of goods from more than 200 direct destinations. This last point is vital if these companies are to remain competitive.

Brussels Airport is part of the mobility solution in the region

The airport is an inter-modal hub whereby various means of transport converge: aircraft, train, tram, bus, taxi, car, bicycle and pedestrians. Already today, and even more so in the future, people are not only coming to the airport to work or to take a plane; a great number of commuters also use Brussels Airport as a stop-over in the journey between home and work or for other journeys. Further development and strengthening of these facilities support the mobility of the whole region.

Brussels Airport connects our country to the rest of the world. The better our country is connected with other countries, the more people can meet each other, learn about each other’s cultures and create new trading opportunities. At the same time, on a national level, Brussels Airport constitutes an inter-modal hub that improves mobility in the country and in particular in the region around Brussels.
