Brussels Airport has broken a new day record today (30 July) by welcoming 96,000 passengers. While around half of them already enjoyed their well-deserved holiday, the other half still need to set off on vacation. Around 5,000 festival-goers from Tomorrowland are returning home too. 

The previous day record was set about one year ago; on 28 July 2017 when the airport handled 94,305 passengers.

Despite the busy period everything is running very smoothly at and around the airport; the airport mobilized extra staff to assist passengers, who are advised to check in well before the departure time of their flight.

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.
