Less air cargo at Brussels Airport due to noise standards

The airport is comparing the 2017 figures with those of 2015, the previous record year, due to the distorting effect of the 2016 attacks. Already since the beginning of this year, Brussels Airport seems to be stringing together one record after another in terms of passengers. Signs were also more than positive for cargo volumes, with growth rates every month well above 2016 and 2015. But recently, there has been a kink in that growth curve. For the first time this year, the monthly volume flown is lower than in 2015, 1.9% or a good 800 tonnes to be precise.
