Customer centricity is at the heart of everything we do, also in extremely challenging circumstances. While we continue to apply the highest standards concerning health safety, we look forward to offer our guests an exceptional experience and provide them peace of mind. Working together with a partner like Aramark, enables us to offer an exceptional guest experience, even within the limitations of the current health crisis. On top of our shared passion for hospitality, also Aramark’s sustainability approach, towards both people and planet, make them the perfect partner for our lounges. We are grateful to be able to welcome them to the aviation industry.”

Mr. Stijn Crombé, Executive Managing Director Belgium – Netherlands – France – Luxemburg responded when he said: ‘Aramark is extremely honoured and proud to team up with Brussels Airlines in offering a high quality catering service within the lounges located at Brussels Airport. Our local Belgian approach with the support of our international teams in the management of airport lounges, our passion for service excellence, have naturally brought us closer to Brussels Airlines. It is by sharing the same vision, the same philosophy, that we can build a solid partnership. As we all know, Brussels Airlines "goes the extra smile", Aramark Belgium "goes the extra culinary experience". Together we want to make Belgium shine all over the world. With awards already granted in the past to the Brussels Airlines lounges, Aramark is keen to take up the challenge of maintaining this award alongside them.”
