Air Cargo Belgium celebrates fifth anniversary Today marks a special day in the history of air cargo at Brussels Airport as BRUcargo’s community organization Air Cargo Belgium celebrates its 5th anniversary. It was on the 21st of April in 2016 that Air Cargo Belgium VZW was officially launched. This was the result after a long period of meetings, dialogues and forming a strategy. On top of that, it was of utmost importance that the ‘founding fathers’ agreed on a common vision. The ultimate goal: to bundle the forces at BRUcargo and the airfreight industry for once and for all The founding fathers of Air Cargo Belgium were Brussels Airport (Steven Polmans), BAFI (David Bellon, Philippe Fierens & Alain De Heldt), ACMAB (Bob Vandamme & Bas Van Gogh), Voka (Geert Keirens, Paul Hegge & Peter Van Biesbroeck) and the Ground Handling Agents, which were previously represented by CTC (Eddy Van Craen): Aviapartner (Jan De Leeuw), Swissport (Patrick Minsart) and WFS (Marc Claessen). It was Steven Polmans whom became the first Chairman of Air Cargo Belgium.
