Brussels Airport is getting ready
to welcome the winter season

Beach, mountains, or citytrip?

After a great and successful summer season, Brussels Airport is gradually shifting into winter mode with an equally interesting offer. From the end of October, holidaymakers, business travellers and people visiting relatives abroad will have numerous destinations to choose from. All this in a 'comic book' atmosphere along with services tailored to each passenger.  

Where will you go this winter? The Canary Islands, Dubai, Kittilä or Barcelona? The beach or the snow? Or a city break perhaps? The choice from Brussels Airport is vast this winter. Besides classics like Madrid, Barcelona, Rome or Geneva, sunny destinations will be as popular as ever this winter. And the Canary Islands are once again likely to top the leader board. With a wide range of holiday accommodations spread over various islands, as well as mild temperatures even in winter, the Canary Islands are as popular in summer as in winter. They are followed by Cape Verde, Egypt, Turkey, Morocco, Dubai, the Caribbean and Mexico. New destinations Johannesburg and Cape Town, added in September, are drawing in more and more passengers thanks to Air Belgium.  

But winter sports destinations have not been forgotten either. In addition to Geneva, Innsbruck and Salzburg (a new destination) in Austria, Kittilä and Kuusamo in Finland have been added to our line up. Destinations that should attract many passengers from Belgium but also from the Netherlands following the flight limits at the Dutch airports. And the start of the mid-term autumn break, starting this Friday for French-speaking schoolchildren and in a week's time for the others, should bring many holidaymakers to Brussels Airport.       

Activities for young and old  

To put travellers in a holiday mood, Brussels Airport immerses its passengers in a typically Belgian atmosphere: the world of comic books! Until mid-November, young and old can download comics, take pictures of themselves with comic book heroes such as Spike & Suzy or the Smurfs and post their pictures on social media with the hashtag #Brusselsairport to try to win a ticket for two for the Brussels Comic Book Museum. During the autumn break, the Smurfs and Spike & Suzy will be there to meet the children just after security screening. 

In terms of passenger services, Brussels Airport has not been idle. Passengers can always ask questions on the airport's website using the chatbot Bruce and can find out the ideal time to arrive at the airport for their flight via the online tool. On very busy days, especially during school holidays, it is strongly recommended that you reserve your on-site parking space in advance, unless you're coming by train or bus or use the Flibco coach service. Finally, passengers travelling with Lufthansa group (Brussels Airlines, Swiss and Austrian) can use the self-bag drop if they have checked in online beforehand.   

Foodies will be glad to learn that Le Pain Quotidien joined Brussels Airport a few months ago in the Departure Hall. And shopping fans will be happy to see that several shops, including the Duty-Free Shop at Pier A, have been renovated or expanded.

Brussels Airport wins award for the best network development and route marketing in the world

Brussels Airport wins award for the best network development and route marketing in the world 

At the World Routes event in Las Vegas in the United States, Brussels Airport has won the overall World Routes 2022 Marketing Award, and also took home the World Routes Award in its category. Brussels Airport previously won this overall award already in 2012, 2014 and 2018; which makes this the fourth overall win. Brussels Airport is the only airport that has won this award four times. 

Last night, Brussels Airport received two World Routes awards at the World Routes event in Las Vegas. Brussels was the winner of the 5 to 10 million passengers' category (based on 2021 data), and then also received the overall award.  

The prestigious international prize rewards the airport for its successful network strategy and route marketing, as Brussels Airport welcomed several new airline partners since the onset of the pandemic, with Air Belgium, Transavia, and Corendon Airlines opening bases, and SKY express, PLAY, Flyr, FlyOne, and HiSky starting operations. Sixteen new destinations were launched or announced in 2021 or 2022, including long-haul flights to Johannesburg and Cape Town. 

"I am truly proud of our Aviation Development team and the outstanding work they deliver year-in year out, this really makes a difference, especially in these turbulent times. Even during the pandemic, Brussels Airport remained focused on maintaining the connectivity of our country, to enable people and businesses to connect, and for the gradual recovery of business and leisure travel. The World Routes 2022 Overall Award is the recognition of this successful strategy and the efforts made by the team to support our airlines.", says Arnaud Feist, CEO of Brussels Airport Company. 

The World Routes Awards are an initiative of Routes, a company that wants to stimulate network development throughout the world by, for example, publishing more news about this and by organising network events for airports and airlines. The winners of the awards are chosen by the airlines themselves. 

The World Routes event is the highlight of the year and an unparalleled meeting place for airports and airlines. Brussels Airport was present with a large delegation to present the airport to more than 100 airlines and organisations. As in previous years, Brussels Airport is once again organising the now well-known and highly appreciated Brussels Café in the exhibition hall.
