3,500 jobs threatened by irresponsible Brussels"
Flemish Minister Geert Bourgeois (N-VA), the Brussels Capital Region calls for a move away from the strict noise standards for aircraft.
He does after last night it became known that two cargo airlines departing from Zaventem because they are not allowed to fly more about Brussels with their noisiest aircraft. Threatened 3,500 jobs.
The Brussels Region will from 1 January 2017 to introduce a zero tolerance against aircraft which exceed the noise standards Brussels.
Airlines that exceed those standards by flying with noisy aircraft on Brussels, then threaten to get hefty fines on the bus.
The Flemish government has announced to establish a conflict of interest against the plans.
But two cargo airlines have already decided to pull away from Zaventem: Saudia Cargo pulls Frankfurt and the Chinese Yangtze River Express moves to Amsterdam.
"This is dramatic news," said Flemish Prime Minister Bourgeois, who fear it will leave more airlines Zaventem.
That fear is justified, as three other cargo carriers like Saudia Cargo and Yangte River Express with noisy Boeing 747s fly,
view their options: Air Cargo Global, Asiana and Singapore Airlines Cargo.
"If in the course of January no political solution is reached, they leave,"
said Geert Keirens, director of Air Cargo Belgium (the association of logistics companies at Brussels Airport) to the business magazine Trends.
Keirens says that at least 1,250 direct jobs and 2,500 indirect jobs are at stake.
Flemish Minister Geert Bourgeois said in "Morning" on Radio 1 to do not understand the attitude of the Brussels government.
"This is just irresponsible.
Zaventem is the second largest economic center of the country, after the port of Antwerp, accounting for 60,000 jobs.
If we do these activities to scale back because Brussels wants to take some of the burden off themselves, but want to have only the lust. That does not, of course. "
