Logistics Real Estate

BRUcargo, the logistics area of Brussels Airport, hosts over 100 companies employing 5,000 people. With unrivalled connectivity at the centre of Europe and a 24-hour customs service, this area is highly sought-after by international logistics players. We mainly target companies active in our 4 niche sectors: pharmaceuticals, perishables, live animals and e-commerce. A specialisation strategy that facilitates synergies between the players in our ecosystem.​

To live up to our sustainable development commitments, we are modernising BRUcargo in line with high quality standards. Our goal? To optimise building land and create more green spaces, while keeping paved surfaces to a minimum. We also give priority to energy efficiency and green energy. Based on pre-established standards, we also pay close attention to indoor air quality, choice of materials, mobility and well-being in the workplace. We want every new building to achieve BREEAM 'Excellent' status.​

Smart buildings, connected things, data sharing... In the logistics sector, tracking incoming and outgoing flows in real time is essential. With tools like the Digital Green Lane  or BRUcloud , Brussels Airport is carving out a place for itself as a world leader in digital innovation. Our goal? To allow our customers to save time with applications that reduce administrative tasks and speed up procedures. This is the case with the Perishable Management App, an application for managing perishable goods that makes the goods control process smoother and more efficient.​

As an international transport hub, our primary role is to ship goods worldwide. We are therefore continuing to develop connectivity between aircraft, while strengthening coordination with other modes of transport. To improve working conditions for employees in the cargo area, we have also optimised access to BRUcargo and developed sustainable solutions for rotating teams. The new cycle bridge over the Haachtsesteenweg makes it easier for employees to commute to BRUcargo by bike from Vilvoorde.​
