25th jubilee of Asiana Cargo at Brussels Airport

Asiana Cargo, that started its operations at Brussels Airport on 22 April 1998, has been operating full cargo flights at Brussels Airport for 25 years and is one of the longest operating cargo airlines at the airport. Known for their reliable and punctual operations, Asiana provides an important link from the heart of Europe to Asia for the transport of machine parts, electronics and pharmaceuticals.

Asiana Cargo started full cargo flights at Brussels airport on 22 April 1998. 25 years later, Asiana is still present as an active and reliable partner. Asiana Cargo flies from New York to Brussels Airport three times a week and then flies on to Incheon Airport (Seoul, South Korea).

Asiana Cargo is known for its highly reliable and punctual operations and their commitment to their customers. Because of their high reliability, Asiana was selected to transport high-sensitivity machines used to manufacture state-of-the-art semi-conductors. These high-tech products are used by major global brands to build into their electronic devices and distribute them to the rest of the world.

During the past Covid-19 Crisis, Asiana transported numerous vaccines from Brussels Airport to Seoul for the Korean vaccine programmes. And in the early stages at a time of shortages in supplies they also brought mouth masks to the Belgian Veterans from the South Korean War (1950-1953), that were sent by the Korean government out of gratitude for services rendered in the past. This confirms the strong bond between South Korea and Belgium on the one hand and Asiana Airlines and Brussels Airport on the other. For Brussels Airport, Asiana Cargo provides a strong, reliable and important link to Asia.

Geert Aerts, Chief Cargo & Real Estate Officer Brussels Airport: “We congratulate Asiana Cargo for this special 25th anniversary and thank them for their trust and year-long reliable and intense cooperation. We look forward to continue our successful collaboration in the years to come, linking the heart of Europe to a key trade region in Asia.”

Tae Yong Lee, Regional Sales Manager, Asiana Cargo. “Our very first European adventure started in 1998, right here at Brussels Airport with a combi-flight. Despite having had some challenging times throughout our journey, the partnership between Asiana Cargo and Brussels Airport has remained strong. We are proud and honored to celebrate our silver jubilee with our Brussels Airport partners and look forward to many more successful years.”
