[Brussels Airport] regrets the approach by Minister of Transport

Forwarded message - From: Press office 

14.07.2023 - Brussels Airport regrets the approach by Minister of Transport  

 

Brussels Airport is an essential gateway to the world for citizens, businesses, and countless institutions. The airport is the second growth engine in Belgium, providing direct and indirect employment to 64,000 people and accounting for 2% of the GDP. Brussels Airport is also a vital logistics hub for the numerous exporting companies and industries established in Belgium, including the pharmaceutical industry, the manufacturing industry, perishables, trade…  

 

The airport is heavily investing in making its operations more sustainable by attracting quieter aircraft through differentiated charges, working on more efficient flight procedures, entirely eliminating its own carbon emissions... The many initiatives taken have already led to a sharp reduction in nuisance. In the coming years, we will ambitiously continue to reduce the impact of the airport operations, together with our partners in the industry. 

 

Brussels Airport therefore regrets that the federal Minister of Transport is now launching a far-reaching proposal with unprecedented negative consequences on employment, connectivity, exports and the economy in Belgium. This was done without any concertation or alignment with the airport or the aviation industry.  Moreover, the European procedure to impose operating restrictions is also not respected at all. The airport, the aviation industry and local residents do not benefit from launching such drastic and unsupported proposals. They only give rise to uncertainty, anxiety and polarisation. They stand in the way of sustainable and balanced solutions in the interests of all stakeholders.  

 

What the airport, the industry and the local residents really need is a global solution and a coherent legal framework that provides stability and legal certainty for the sustainable development of the airport, with respect for the environment. This can only be achieved in close consultation with the competent authorities, the airport, the airlines and the industry. That is exactly what Brussels Airport has been advocating for several years now and is more than willing to contribute to.

Work on Aviation Talent Hub started    A cutting-edge center to attract and train airport talent at Brussels Airport  June 23rd saw the kick-off of the renovation works for the new Aviation Talent Hub located on the Ringlaan at Brussels Airport. Scheduled for completion by the end of 2024, Aviato Academy's Aviation Talent Hub will emerge as the center of choice for training airport staff and perfecting their skills. Aviato Academy is dedicated to providing the airport community with cutting-edge resources to foster their personal development and enhance their knowledge of airport operations and the aviation industry. With a seamless blend of online and offline platforms supported by state-of-the-art infrastructure, students will have access to an unparalleled learning experience. Complementing this innovative approach, an immersive Experience Center will be built to ignite passion and inspire talent. Embodying the role of a central education hub for aviation, the Aviation Talent Hub will spearhead skills development at Brussels Airport.  Unique Aviation Talent Hub at Brussels Airport  Aviato Academy and Aviato are joining hands with their partners to establish an unparalleled training facility in the heart of Brussels Airport. For this Aviation Talent Hub, a 3,500 m² building on the Ringlaan at Brussels Airport will be entirely renovated. Today, the partners kicked off the renovation work for this unique project.   "With the development of the Aviation Talent Hub, we reaffirm our commitment to creating the airport of the future, where learning, growth, and innovation intertwine," stated Isabelle Borli, General Manager of Aviato Academy. "Our aim is not only to provide professional training for aviation roles but also to enhance job opportunities and attract new talents to the airport. Through this new hub, we are bolstering our aviation training offerings on-site and fostering a sustainable workforce influx for the continued evolution of Brussels Airport's ecosystem."  The Aviation Talent Hub will serve as the central hub for sourcing, attracting, retaining, and training airport talent. Together, the partners will pool their knowledge, expertise, and resources to support and drive the aviation sector by training talented professionals individually and in groups and equipping them with the necessary theoretical and practical skills to thrive in this dynamic and expanding industry.  "We are thrilled to have reached this significant milestone in the development of the Aviation Talent Hub. By doing so, we are establishing a cutting-edge training center at Brussels Airport, serving all our airport partners," commented Sylvie Vanden Eynde, Chief HR & Corporate Affairs Officer of Brussels Airport. "With the Aviation Talent Hub, Brussels Airport will take a prominent role in aviation education, diversifying its services and offering top-notch aviation training within its ecosystem. Ultimately, the passengers and customers will benefit from enhanced operational efficiency and services, made possible by the recruitment and training initiatives taking place within this hub."  Future-proof education in a sustainable environment   The renovated building will not only accommodate traditional classrooms and practice spaces but also an advanced digital training center. The renovation project also includes the development of office spaces, meeting rooms, and event venues. Aviato Academy will establish its headquarters there and, in collaboration with Aviato, expand the hub into a knowledge center for airport talent, featuring an appealing Experience Center for airport jobs.  The Aviation Talent Hub will meet the highest standards of energy efficiency using cutting-edge technologies, including green facades and rooftop solar panels. The building enjoys a central location at the airport and is easily accessible by public transportation, with direct bus connections to and from Brussels Airport's passenger terminal or Brucargo, as well as convenient access for cyclists.  The renovation works will be carried out in several phases, with the ground floor expected to be completed by the end of this year. The entire project is scheduled for completion by the end of 2024, and the Aviation Talent Hub, together with its state-of-the-art Experience Center, is set to be fully operational in early 2025.  About Brussels Airport   Brussels Airport is one of the most important airports in Europe.
