It's ridiculous. The most beautiful part of the airport and passengers will not see it...

In the meantime, the amateurism outside continues: at the drop of area the tent has returned! Also numerous (dirty) concrete blocks can be seen at the "bus station" to guide the passengers. You should see it to believe it.
Where do you read in this article that that it will used has event hall!!!

Please you can be critical about the airport I'm myself but try to stay honest or you point of view will worth nothing anymore on this forum.
Hasta la victoria siempre.

But that was in the past, if I understand well they going to use the satellite again.
It seems that passengers will go true the sky hall again.

I was at the press conference yesterday, or rather at the visit of the works on the Sky Hall, especially the lifting of one of the 53.5-tonne trusses with a 700-tonne crane:

https://www.aviation24.be/airports/brus ... structure/

One of the engineers in charge of the renovation works told me that the hall would be used as a transit hall (like it was the case when it was originally built in the mid-fifties) for the future Pier C, which will indeed be built around the satellite as mentioned by lumumba. From the Sky Hall, there is already a long corridor under the KPMG and Deloitte buildings.

That is what I call Long-Range Planning!

A new building for bagage handling / screening.

On the video BRU 2014 you can clearly see that Pier C is reserved for Ryanair, Tui and probably more low costs airlines.
That would be a pity really to give LCC's such a premium location.

The Sky Hall is a central cross point in the whole airport lay-out.
It would be a pity to use this as an event hall.
What kind of event?? Brussels has more than enough locations for all kind of events.

To use a prime location and building in an international airport, for a few events a week ( a month ???) cannot be called professional management.
Or will they use it for the yearly Shareholders Meeting (??) - enough place for all the Toronto- pensioned teachers ??

Let us hope BRU management will think "PASSENGERS FIRST" (especially the one paying high airport taxes...)

Hi Conti764,

To give you the right and only right answer on this ;); A new administration building is at this moment being under construction for the BAC people who are leaving the Satellite.

At this moment a few departments of BAC moved already from the Satellite to the new Passport building where KPMG, Microsoft are located.
But of course, not everybody can sit there, so a new building will be between the terminal and the Sky Hall

Ansett wrote: 18 Aug 2018, 17:31 Thanks for this info, André. Just a question : is there really enough space to build a C pier ? Do you by any chance know if the satellite will be renovated and have boarding gates again ? Thanks.
Hi Ansett,

There is more than enough space for the new C pier, otherwise it was not implemented in the Vision 2040. The Sky Hall and the Satellite will be connected with this C pier, let's even say that the satellite will be the central point in this.

This means that this "nostalgic" part of the airport will have again a "real aviation" future.

I would not say that pier C is reserved for Ryanair bcs with this company you never know what will be, you just can't build a long term relation with that company as in a whimp they can change their mind.

Pier C will be open for many airlines

I, too, hope that this Skyhall I knew kid, will find a life in the field of aviation in everyday life and not in the form of "cesspool" event ...I wrote "cloaque" in french...

Hey Atlantis.
So in the first place the satellites will stay and later on it will be replaced by the C pier is that correct?

Hi Lumumba,

The satellite will never disappear. After some time it will be integrated into the new C pier. Let's say that the Satellite will be more or less the start/beginning point of the C pier

According to an older article I've just read (April 2017), formal decisions about A pier West were to be taken in 2017. Anything concrete has been decided? Any idea when construction might start? BAC estimates it will be necessary as from 2023...
