Brussels Airport (BRU)

Hot weather at Brussels Airport: showers on the tarmac!

Share

It’s hot out there! Also at the airport, especially on tarmac. Because, as you may well know, temperatures are always at least 5 degrees higher on tarmac than elsewhere.

No sweat for the staff on tarmac at Brussels Airport however, as the fire department of Brussels Airport Company is treating all colleagues to a refreshing shower on tarmac several times a day. A well liked treat by the airside security inspectors, marshallers, baggage handlers and many others.

Also tomorrow, as temperatures will even be higher, the fire department will be ready to sprinkle!
