Although 2021 failed to live up to expectations, we did achieve a great deal over the past 12 months.
2021 did not deliver the return to normality that we all hoped for. With 9.4 million passengers we performed significantly better than in 2020 but remained at only 35% of the number of passengers in pre-Covid 2019.
In 2021 our resilience was once again put to the test. Yet, together, we were able to achieve a great deal. Our cargo division recorded its best result in 15 years and over 800 million vaccines were shipped through our airport. There were new initiatives to further improve the passenger experience. We welcomed new airlines, King Philippe came to visit and we launched Stargate, a joint project in which 22 partners are working together towards a sustainable future for the aviation industry.
We summarised the highlights of 2021 for you in a nice retrospective video. Enjoy!
