Tension As Brussels Airport Faces Government Decision On Environmental Permit

Yet again, the debate on banning night flights at Brussels Zaventem Airport has resurfaced. This particular subject has been ongoing since the 2000s when DHL's cargo operation was evolving, and plans to establish the company's European air cargo hub in Brussels were coming together. This failure – which we shall delve into – foreshadows the tension on the table today. On Friday, March 29, a decision will be taken on renewing the airport's environmental permit, without which it would be forced to close.
