A bar is still a business, which means revenue for the airport :)

The area beyond border control towards Gates B is getting an upgrade. The works might be inconvenient now, but this will be the result:

Reopening Brussels Airport after the 22/03/2016 terror attacks

Another great use of our tax money. 6-7 times a month I clear the border at BRU, never are these gates open. Must be the only big airport in europe where they are consistently closed.

Dear Sean1982,

I don't know why you placed this post in a totally wrong topic. Too lazy to find the topic "BRU future infrastructure"??

And as second, you have to ask yourself the question why it is closed? Look around. Were there very long queues in front of you to pass the border control? Yes or no? If not, than they are simply closed bcs police can do the check. The time they check your ID is the same as you spend at those electronic ones.

Everything is with a purpose. Do you really think that BRU invest a lot of money to not use it afterwards?? Than you are really stupid.

To give you an other example. In Delhaize you can pay at the normal cash desk or you can scan your own goods and pay via the terminals. Why do you think that also in Delhaize the automated self scan is so often closed??? Bcs at the cash desk there are no queues and they can handle it. Only in case of long queues the self scan goes open.

So please, open your eyes, look around, stop your narrow and always negative thinking and see the bigger picture. Welcome to the real world

Euhm, who's being negative? I wasnt lazy, I couldnt remember the name of the other topic, I have other things to do in my life rather than remembering all luchtzak.be topics.

Secondly, yes the queue was long with several non-Schengen flights who arrived. Waiting time was about 20min. As a comparison, Heathrow has an average waiting time for european passports of 5-7 min. And just for a reference, I clear border control at different times 6-7 times a month, I passed automatic border control once in 5 months. If they arent needed, then why spend so much money on them?

Not that is has anything to do with this topic, but in my Delhaize the self scan tills are always open ;)

Hey Atlantis.

This happened to me also for example in Lisboa with or without much people it's always open and yes last time it was closed there was some queues not crazy but 5 to 10 minutes waiting.

I ask the Police at the desk why it's not open,I did not receive an answer and it was rough ....
Hasta la victoria siempre.

We all know that the police unions runs BRU. And they don't want to be replaced (or compete with) robots!

They are inoperative, I read it in the newspaper last week.

Dat betekent dat we dit jaar zullen beslissen hoe de pier er zou moeten uitzien, hoeveel gates en loopbruggen er moeten komen, of de pier wordt ingericht om de A380 te kunnen ontvangen

Welcome to Luchtzak, MrBrightside.

May I ask you to post in English in this forum? There is another forum for posting in Dutch, French and German. Thanks for your understanding.

I translate your first post: "This means that we have to decide this year how the pier should look, how many gates and jet bridges we need, and whether the pier should be equipped for the A380."

From what I understand, Pier A West will be decided this year. Taking into account the time necessary to obtain the permits and to finalise the design and construction, it should enter into service in 2023, when it will really be needed to accommodate the increased number of passengers. It will also facilitate the boarding with more passengers being able to use jet bridges rather than being transported by bus to their planes.

A future Terminal C (also mentioned in the 2040 vision) will not be needed before 2040, when CEO Arnaud Feist thinks that the airport will handle 40 million passengers and employ 120,000 people.

Pier C is foreseen in two major development phases in the 2040 vision, with phase 1 of it likely to be developed as from 2035 (could be a bit earlier or a bit later of course) , though second part of Pier C is indeed foreseen really at the very end of Vision 2040.
But that's all very long term anyway and difficult to predict what the exact needs will be then.

For Pier A West it is important to develop the concept this year to start with detailed designs and requesting the necessary permits as this will be a matter of years before they'll even be able to start building something, which will take another few years.
Public communication on this project is a positive sign ;)

Does anyone know if and when they will start expanding the parking facilities? It was mentioned here a while back that Front Park 3 would be expanded, but so far nothing has happened. On the news this morning it was said that people were advised to come to BRU by public transport because pretty much every parking space is taken, so there's clearly a need for more space.

Update on the parking: there is none, everything is full at BRU.
