The solution adopted long before the September 11 atrocity by Brussels Airport, at the heart of the European Union, is hands-free technology, which not only enables more than 30,000 employees and contractors  to pass to and fro freely and securely, but also demonstrates the value of real partnership.
Brussels boasts one of the busiest airports in Europe, with more than a quarter of a million aircrafts taking off and landing every year, and more than 15 million passengers arriving, departing or passing through every year.
The airport can lay claim to being at the heart of Europe – but like every airport, it has had to balance the necessity for rigorous security, particularly after September 11, with the equally pressing need to keep staff, passengers and cargo on the move.
