The full Brussels Airport Company story

An elegant awards evening celebrating excellence, collaboration and innovation across the aviation community.

The 19th edition of the Brussels Airport Aviation Awards brought together around 250 guests from across the aviation sector for an evening dedicated to recognising excellence, innovation and collaboration. Airlines, cargo companies and industry partners gathered to celebrate the achievements that continue to strengthen the Brussels Airport community.

To match the prestige of the event, AHLEX transformed its event hall into a fully customised awards venue. Working closely with Concreat, the space was redesigned with elegant décor, branded banners, a professional stage, atmospheric lighting and carefully selected styling that created a welcoming yet sophisticated setting for the celebration.

The guest experience started before the awards ceremony itself. Upon arrival, visitors were invited to discover the AHLEX Digital Center through an immersive walkthrough, offering a unique introduction to innovative technologies and demonstrating how digital experiences can become an integral part of professional events.

The evening continued with the official awards ceremony, where eleven Aviation Awards recognised outstanding achievements in punctuality, safety, sustainability and network development. Live music, high-quality catering, drinks, desserts and networking opportunities completed the experience, allowing guests to celebrate together in a relaxed and elegant atmosphere.

Throughout the project, AHLEX managed the event production, ensuring that every element—from venue transformation and technical production to hospitality and visitor flow—contributed to a seamless guest journey. The close collaboration with Brussels Airport and Concreat resulted in an event that combined flawless organisation with an engaging and memorable atmosphere.

The Aviation Awards once again highlighted the strength of the Brussels Airport community and demonstrated how AHLEX creates premium event experiences where storytelling, hospitality and professional production come together to leave a lasting impression.
