It will have to wait until 2024 before we see the number of passengers return to the same level as in 2019 at Brussels Airport, said Tuesday its CEO Arnaud Feist. It points, moreover, a certain difficulty in terms of competition due to the prohibition made to the Belgian to fly to some countries, in contrast to other member States of the EU.

Since the re-opening of the borders of the Schengen area on 15 June, there has been a slight recovery. "We are now at about 10% of the normal capacity, but it is still far short of the attendance required to ensure the profitability of the airport.", says Arnaud Feist.
