Antwerp Airport, which will be called Antwerp City Airport in the future, has announced plans for a sustainable reorientation. One of the most important measures is a ten-hectare solar plant that will supply the airport with electricity.
This initiative aims to provide clean energy for new forms of air mobility, such as electric aircraft, short-distance air taxis and drones. Bruno De Saegher, the new CEO since September 1, emphasized the goal of positioning the airport as a pioneer for modern and environmentally friendly mobility through its proximity to the city center and the use of renewable energy. The planned rebranding is intended to emphasize the airport's proximity to the city and its contribution to the economy in the Flanders region.
