Brussels Airport welcomed over 6.7 million passengers in 2020, a 74% decrease - Air cargo up by 2,2%

A total of 6,743,395 passengers passed through Brussels Airport in 2020, down 74% on 2019 which, we would like to remind, was a record year. Unfortunately, the COVID crisis and the travel restrictions had a severe impact on passenger numbers in 2020, despite the very positive growth figures recorded in the first two months of the year. The cargo segment, and in particular air cargo, saw demand increase in 2020 especially for the transport of pharmaceuticals and medical supplies and recorded a 2% growth in cargo volumes.
