Share

Antwerp Airport in Deurne, soon to be rebranded as Antwerp City Airport, has unveiled ambitious plans for sustainable innovation.

Key initiatives include a 10-hectare solar panel array designed to power the airport and provide clean energy for electric planes, short-distance air taxis, and drones.

CEO Bruno De Saegher, who joined on September 1, emphasises the shift towards a new model of air mobility alongside traditional aviation. This rebranding highlights the airport’s urban proximity and its role in the economic heart of Flanders, positioning it as a hub for modern, green transportation.
