WFS inaugurates a new logistics centre in Brussels Airport cargo zone

Feb 4, 2019: On February 1, 2019, Brussels Airport Company and Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) inaugurated a new logistics building to the west of the airport's cargo zone.

The ground handling giant WFS is opening an ultra-modern logistics building of 8,700 m2 at Brussels Airport, developed by Montea.

The construction of this new logistics warehouse is a part of an ambitious development project within the cargo zone of Brussels Airport that started eight months ago.

On the west side, a 50,000 m2 building will be built in the coming months. In total, 100 million euros will be invested in the cargo zone over the next two years.

"This new ultra-modern building developed with two of our most important partners is important for the Belgian logistics sector. It fits in perfectly with our strategy for the sustainable development of the logistics activities of Brussels Airport," explains Arnaud Feist, CEO of Brussels Airport Company.

"Montea has once again found a logistics solution for its client that enables a combination of increasing efficiency and future growth. With this new project in the Brussels Airport cargo zone, Montea confirms its exceptional real estate expertise in the field of air freight which allows it to work with the biggest players in this field," explains Peter Demuynck, CCO of Montea.

This site will offer WFS the possibility of giving new stimulus to the quality standards and demanding requirements for the treatment of specialised freight shipments.

Marc Claesen, regional vice president WFS Northern Europe said: "For WFS, this new cutting-edge complex will allow us to continue to offer our clients efficient services with the best requirements in terms of safety and security while meeting the modern requirements of e-commerce and air transport of pharmaceutical products."
