"DHL Global Forwarding's choice for Brucargo strengthens the status of the cargo area and Brussels Airport as a key employment platform in Belgium. Brussels Airport is our country's second economic driver, providing 20,000 direct and 40,000 indirect jobs," Mr Delen said in a statement.
The new building will feature a 1,750 square metres temperature-controlled area to meet the needs of the company's life science customers. It will also be equipped with environmental technologies including solar panel installations and water recovery systems.
