These past few weeks Brussels Airport was presented with several awards.
Double Gold at the World Air Cargo Awards
The Brussels Airport cargo community took home two World Air Cargo Awards. A nice recognition from the industry and a real boost in these challenging times. Congratulations to our own cargo colleagues and of course to the entire cargo community at Brussels Airport.
The prestigious World Air Cargo Awards reward excellence in the cargo industry. Cargo airlines, airports, handlers, forwarders and other companies active in the industry are nominated in 10 categories. Everyone who is involved in the cargo industry can vote for the company, airline or airport that they find excels in the field of service, investments, innovation and processes. Because the traditional award ceremony could not take place, this year’s winners were announced in the Air Cargo Week weekly.
Brussels Airport was elected Airport of the Year 2020. Our airport did better than other large airports with nominees including Changi Airport, Chicago Rockford International, Leipzig/Halle Airport, Miami International Airport and Vienna International Airport. Over the past decade, Brussels Airport was ‘Airport of the Year’ five times, an unprecedented achievement.
Air Cargo Belgium, the association that represents the cargo community at Brussels Airport, also won gold. Air Cargo Belgium took home the Air Cargo Industry Achievement Award 2020 before other nominees Air FranceKLMMartinair, Etihad Cargo, Qatar Airways Cargo, Singapore Airlines Cargo and Swissport.
Director Cargo & Logistics Steven Polmans is proud of this great performance. Air Cargo Belgium winning the Air Cargo Industry Achievement Award this year, is the icing on the cake. " ‘It is great that the industry is once again rewarding the efforts we have been making over the years to further develop the freight service and the freight community at Brussels Airport,” he commented. “We cannot repeat enough that this achievement is the result of the efforts, large and small, of many people inside and outside our company. The recognition that we are getting from the freight industry is fantastic. Sincere encouragement for freight colleagues, but also for the entire airport community at this difficult time!”
