Major expansion for Brussels Airport airfreight center
Brucargo, the airfreight center at Brussels Airport, is to be expanded by 12 000 square meters. In addition, the existing connection with the E19 motorway will be greatly improved. The aim of these investments is to attract more airfreight to Brussels. Brussels Airport Company (BAC) is building 120 000 square meters of new warehouses, offices and transshipment facilities at the western end of the airport. The deadline for completion is 2011. The investment carries a total price tag of EUR 90 million. Infrastructure and foundation works have already started. The first 20 000 square meters will be ready by mid-2008. BAC also aims to create added value by providing perimeter security, additional parking spaces for trucks and, primarily, through an improved infrastructure for easier airport access. Zaventem is currently the 6th-ranked airport in Europe and handles some 730 000 tonnes of goods per annum.
