Diamond Award
- Diamond Award: Johan Decuyper
The ‘Diamond Award’ is a special category, as it is currently awarded only once every two years. This time around, the award recognises the CEO of a company already honoured during the evening – Johan Decuyper, who has led skeyes since 2013.
Under his leadership, the organisation has undergone a major transformation. One of the most significant milestones was the decision to rebrand the organisation as skeyes, a name that better reflects the ever-evolving and increasingly complex challenges faced by air traffic control. skeyes’ commitment to innovation is evident through various initiatives, including the digital tower project, advancements in drone technology, sustainability efforts, and talent development programmes, all of which demonstrate its forward-thinking approach and dedication to the future of aviation.
Brussels Airport wishes to congratulate all airlines and partners, whether winners or nominees, for their outstanding performances.
