How does an airport persuade an airline that a route belongs in its network? In Episode 79 of The Indian AvGeek, Vishal Mehra speaks with Leon Verhallen, Director Aviation Development at Brussels Airport Company, about the commercial work behind new airline routes. They discuss Brussels Airport’s route-development strategy, the operating logic of Jet Airways’ Brussels scissor hub, the competition among European gateways, rail connectivity, long-haul airline economics and the case for a future direct India–Brussels service. The conversation is about the often invisible decisions that turn airport ambition into a viable airline route.
