[Brussels Airport Company] Reaction Brussels Airport to decision of the Council for Permit Disputes

Forwarded message - From: Press Office - Brussels Airport Company 

Reaction Brussels Airport to decision of the Council for Permit Disputes Brussels Airport takes note of the decision by the Council for Permit Disputes to annul the airport's environmental permit, granted in March 2024. The airport will now first analyse this decision thoroughly.  Brussels Airport has also always emphasized that the permit included very strict operating restrictions, whereas these should have been subject to the European Balanced Approach procedure first. The Council's decision confirms this.  This decision has no impact on the current operation of the airport and airport companies. All flights will continue as planned. The airport will continue to operate under the conditions of the annulled license.   In its decision, the Council for Permit Disputes gave the Flemish Minister for the Environment until 30 June 2029 to follow the European Balanced Approach procedure and deliver an amended permit. Brussels Airport will take all necessary steps to obtain a suitable permit in time to ensure the continuity of operations after 2029 but also the long-term development of the airport.  Brussels Airport always strives to respect the balance between its connectivity and economic role on the one hand, and its impact on the environment on the other. The airport remains committed to its efforts for sustainable growth within its surroundings.  About Brussels Airport    Brussels Airport is one of the most important airports in Europe.

30 years of Belgian North Sea aerial surveillance | Institute of Natural Sciences Although the Belgian part of the North Sea only represents 0.5 % of the North Sea surface, it is situated in one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world and combines a large number of human activities on a limited space. All the more reason to keep close eye on the health of the marine environment and the compliance of the many actors with regulations, also from the air. In their just-published multiannual activity report, the aerial surveillance team of the Institute of Natural Sciences describes the various missions and results, trends and developments of the Belgian program for aerial surveillance over the North Sea over a period of 30 years, from its start in 1991 up to and including 2021. The numbers are downright impressive. WWW.NATURALSCIENCES.BE  10/07/2025 11:41:28  Generated by Gmail URL Link Preview by cloudHQ
