On 24 June, Brussels Airport won the AFLAS Award for ‘Best Airport in Europe’ at a ceremony held in Shanghai. The Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain (AFLAS) Awards are presented every year by Air Cargo News, and recognise outstanding performance by airports, seaports, and other logistics players across the industry.
The other nominees in the ‘Best Airport in Europe’ category were Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), Frankfurt Airport (FRA), and Istanbul Airport (IST), all internationally recognised airports and leading aviation hubs in Europe. Brussels Airport previously won the same award in 2021, 2022 and 2023.
“Winning this award is a great honour and a recognition of the collective efforts of the entire cargo community at Brussels Airport. In 2025, we saw an 8.5% increase in our total cargo volumes compared to the year before, and we continue to see solid growth month after month. This award confirms our strategy to continue to invest in our focus markets with innovative solutions, into our infrastructure sustainably, both real estate and digital, and into the people that make it work every day, ensuring that Brussels Airport remains the preferred cargo hub in Europe. ", says Geert Aerts, Chief Cargo & Real Estate Officer Brussels Airport.
