After two years of planning and construction, a new logistics building for the handling of goods was officially opened in the Brussels Airport logistics area. This building will provide large refrigerated storage spaces and offers direct airside access, henceforth accommodates three first-class logistics companies: Kuehne+Nagel, Worldwide Flight Services and Expeditors.
Over one hundred logistics companies have set up office at Brussels Airport, making it the second most important logistics hub in Belgium, after the Port of Antwerp, for international trade and air transport in Europe. The logistics area of Brussels Airport is a crucial powerhouse for the economic growth of the country and its regions, with almost 650,000 tons transported in 2020.
Sustainability and refrigerated storage space
At the west side of Brucargo, Brussels Airport has, under its own management, invested in a building that provides some 50,000m² of warehousing space to meet the needs of the three companies mentioned above, that are active in the transportation, packaging and warehousing of freight.
According to aviation24.be, Brucargo West not only provides additional first-line facilities for handling activities (WFS), increasing maximum capacity, but also anchors the air freight activities of two global logistics service providers (Expeditors and Kuehne+Nagel) who once again confirm their confidence in the future development of Brucargo.
