Summer at Brussels Airport will be wonderfully busy once again. With a total number of passengers in excess of 5.2 million during the months of July and August, it looks like we will be setting new records.
And, in keeping with tradition, the number of departing passengers in July is performing very strongly in terms of the number of departures with a total of 1,426,000 passengers (= an average 46,000 people a day). 13 and 23 July look set to be peak days with 50,000 passengers leaving.
The absolute record-breaking day for departures and arrivals combined will be Monday 30 July, when we expect 96,000 travellers to come through our airport.
In August, we are expecting a higher proportion of arrivals, 1,378,000 passengers. Which makes for an average of 44,452 travellers a day.
We would like to wish all airport staff who ensure the smooth handling of these substantial passenger flows on a daily basis every success.
