Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

[Boavida]

Any idea when the new drop-off will be ready?

Hard to say as the administration, permit is still ongoing. But this should be finished by the end of the month. Then contracts with the selected construction companies should be signed.
If they can start this year, it should be finished by the next Summer season 2026. But don't take me on that bcs practice can be different.

The next big warf is the temporary bus station so that they can start with the construction of phase one of the new intermodal transport infrastructure.

Certain things will be at the same time

For those saying that Brussels Airport doesn't care about its pax: another investment in passenger experience.

It is a genuine improvement over the current situation, although it should at the very least be covered throughout to protect passengers from the sunny Belgian weather.

Also, the investment that needs to happen is to stop pretending that it is normal to drop off passengers so far off the terminal. While better than the current situation, this further highlights how... odd BRU continues to be for outbound passengers.

Indeed.
Also for incoming PAX it is an unacceptable situation to have to wait so long at passport control in Pier B.
And then again to have to wait so long for your baggage at the belt.

This problem is about to be solved.

Just for a moment stop with this trolling just like JOVAN2. Do you remember the old drop off before 2016? There was hardly space to pass by with your car, there was hardly space to park your car and to drop off pax, there was all the time a big traffic jam from almost the A201 on peak moments, how many times the police was giving fines to people who just parked the car there?

With the new drop off, there WILL BE 7 LANES TO DROP OFF PAX. There will be now facilities with trolleys to get your luggage on. It will be very modern looking. What is 100 or 200 meters walking for you? Maybe you want to park IN the terminal?

Then there is an effort to get rid off the current ugly one, and still it's not good....

Yes, a 50 meters walk is so exhausting.

Some people want to drive their car up to the plane and have a valet park it after boarding.

Sabena Engineering

What will be the purpose of this new hangar? Is it to merely serve an expansion of the Orizio activities at BRU? Or will it rather be a temporary facility that will enable the renovation of their other hangars at BRU? I've heard that this new hangar might have a temporary nature, with the framework being covered with fabric.

I am 100% sure it will be Sabena activities and not Orizio activities as a whole

Burton doesn't care about Orizio expansion but wants Sabena expansion

Just wanted to add that the Orizio group got a newsflash about the hanger and it clearly states it is for Sabena.

"Eerste week van de bouw van de nieuwe Sabena Engineering hangar"



Mainly for the MRO

Before 2016 we had a third-world situation (although some "third-world" airports had a better drop off area). Now we have an intermediary solution which is an improvement but not what one can expect, see the drop off for taxis, inter alia. As to the new drop off area, is it so difficult to understand it has to be COVERED ! And when will it be operational ? In 2030 knowing the way things work in Belgium ? And what about the taxi drop off ?

Mr RIM TAMTAM, as many members told you already, inform yourself before you write rubbish.

Look around at many airports around us and in East Europe. How many airports has a full covered drop off zone??? Right....

As you maybe also saw, but this is highly uncertain in your situation, the drop off zone has a part which is fully covered. But just to make it clear to you, it has a part.
So yes, there is a chance that you will feel rain or sunshine.

Regarding the taxi places? Did you read the latest information??? Also right....

Building 31 will be also demolished. This is a huge technical building, engineering and maintenance building, on the opposite side of the state of art maintenance building of TUI

That's the building of Sabena Aerospace?

The buiding has no longer been used for about 2 years already. It now has to make space for what?

Not true! it was used for Orizio's Saint Eloi last year

The holes will be filled up with glass.
