The Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain (AFLAS) Awards are presented every year by Asia Cargo News, and recognise outstanding performance by airports, seaports, and other logistics players across the industry. </p><p style=\"text-align: justify\">The other nominees in the &lsquo;Best Airport in Europe&rsquo; category were Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS), Frankfurt Airport (FRA), and Istanbul Airport (IST), all internationally recognised airports and leading aviation hubs in Europe. Brussels Airport previously won the same award in 2021, 2022 and 2023. </p><blockquote style=\"text-align: justify\"><em>&ldquo;Winning this award is a great honour and a recognition of the collective efforts of the entire cargo community at Brussels Airport. In 2025, we saw an 8.5% increase in our total cargo volumes compared to the year before, and we continue to see solid growth month after month. This award reinforces our commitment to investing in our focus markets through innovation, sustainable real estate and digital infrastructure, and the talented people who drive our success every day, ensuring that Brussels Airport remains the preferred cargo hub in Europe.&quot;</em>, says Geert Aerts, <strong>Chief Cargo &amp; Real Estate Officer Brussels Airport.</strong> </blockquote><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>",
