"Brussels Airport II
Brussels Airport is an exceptional book with beautiful photographs and sympathetic background information. Photographer Tom D'Haenens spent over a year scouring more and less common places at Brussels Airport for unique photos. His reportage is both a reference work and an ode to Brussels as a gateway to the rest of the world.
Every year millions of passengers leave Brussels Airport for over 200 different destinations. Every day, over 20,000 employees at the airport are committed to ensuring smooth logistics and a pleasant travel experience. Tom D'Haenens has captured what this entails in crystal-clear and highly varied photographs. VRT journalist and aviation reporter Steven Decraene provides the context for the 21st century and concretizes the challenges that an international airport faces.
The eye for detail in images and text (in Dutch, French and English) makes Brussels Airport not only beautiful and entertaining but also so incredibly sympathetic. Everything an average person thinks of when they think of an airport is covered, plus so much more."
