Brussels - Zaventem National Airport ..... 2July08

Arrivals

The spokesman of the government of the Brussels region announced live on TV Brussels yesterday that representatives of the government and Zaventem national airport have agreed to introduce new airport rules to improve the reputation of Belgium as a whole and Brussels in particular.

Brussels has always warmly welcomed visitors, but it was felt that there was nevertheless room for improvement, the spokesman quoted the final report of the task force that had worked out the new rules. Implementing and complying with the new rules will not only make arriving visitors very happy and feel most welcome, but will also result in economic growth and increased employment in the Brussels region.

A first new rule has already been implemented as of 1 July: drivers of private cars, taxis and buses are required to step out of their vehicles when dropping off departing travellers and personally and passionately greet and welcome at least one arriving visitor. Only then are they allowed to get back drive off again. As a minimum arrivals should be kissed on the right cheek. Reminder signs have been put up in relevant locations outside the airport building.
