Brussels Airport (BRU)

Brussels Airport’s runway 07L/25R is fully operational again

Share

The maintenance work on runway 07L/25R at Brussels Airport was completed four weekends ahead of schedule due to the favourable weather conditions and the efficient execution of the planned work.

Runway 07L/25R is presently fully operational and will again be used according to the stipulations of the preferential runway system. Due to these maintenance works, a thorough renovation of the runway will not be necessary until next year.

The following works were carried out:

  • The complete replacement of the runway lighting cables: over 100 km of new cables
  • The replacements of a number of lamps on the taxiways near the runway
  • Local repairs to drainage pipes and joint fillings
  • The renovation of 3 adjacent taxiways.

Moreover, Brussels Airport took advantage of the maintenance work to remove the rubber deposit and carry out a detailed technical inspection, which will save us from having to close the runway again for several days.

Working for 25 years in the aviation industry, I changed my career and became a firefighter/EMT in 2021. I like to spend my free time with my two sons, girlfriend, family and friends. I love to travel, wine and dine and support my favourite football squad KV Mechelen. Once an Ironman 70.3 finisher and dreaming of completing a full distance.
