With cargo and logistics forming one of four central pillars under a new business strategy, it was decided to centralise the entire responsibility of all activities in the cargo area (operational, financial, commercial and real estate) within the cargo business unit.
These activities will remain under the leadership of Steven Polmans, Director Cargo & Logistics at Brussels airport.
Last month, a new structure was drawn up to manage all existing and additional activities. As a result, the cargo team will be significantly expanded with new and adapted functions. Nathan De Valck will, as of beginning of this month, take up the new role of Head of Product and Network Development, responsible with his team for all business development and key account activities for airlines, forwarders and shippers as well as the further development products such as pharma, perishables, animal transport and e-commerce. De Valck will report directly to Polmans.
In the coming months, the Cargo and Logistics team will be further expanded with, among others, a Head of Cargo Real Estate, Business Analyst, Park Services Manager and an Operations Manager. These reinforcements confirm the clear commitment to further develop Brussels airport as a leading logistics platform in Europe.
