Air Cargo Belgium pleased with strategic plan for Brussels Airport

Brussels Airport was named the world’s best cargo airport just this year for the third time in a row. “That is the result of years of working and investing in a forward-looking airport,” says vice-president Bas van Goch (pictured) of the umbrella organisation Air Cargo Belgium(ACB). “With this plan, we can continue on that momentum, because innovation is necessary to be at the top. E-commerce and high-tech, specialised industry are the future for Europe and Belgium. Already, our country is the global leader in pharmaceutical air transport, not insignificant when you know that according to the federation of Belgian pharmaceutical companies Farma.be, pharmaceutical exports account for 11.4% of Belgian exports. If we want to ensure our future prosperity, we have to give the airport growth opportunities.”
