During an award ceremony held at the Sheraton Brussels Airport Hotel on Wednesday evening, 27th February, Brussels Airport rewarded its partners and the airlines that distinguished themselves from the others by punctuality, performance, environment, safety and development.
Brussels Airport handed out the Aviation Awards for the 12th time. Aviation24.be was present at the ceremony to report.
The Performance and Punctuality Awards reward passenger and cargo airlines that are punctual and perform well. Punctuality is the best on-time performance, that is with an arrival or departure within 15 minutes of the scheduled time.
The performance for cargo is calculated using the number of weekly flights, the number of destinations, the total quantity of cargo flown, the cargo per flight and the growth in cargo tonnage.
