After more than 10 years, international high-speed rail has returned to Belgium’s largest airport.
At around 8:30 am on 7 September, a Deutsche Bahn high-speed train arrived at Brussels Airport for the first time. The service began at Cologne station in Germany, with stops including Aachen, Liège, Leuven and Antwerpen-Centraal being the final destination.
This new service follows after a deal was inked between Brussels Airlines and Deutsche Bahn in February, opening the airport’s network of more than 180 destinations worldwide to travellers from western Germany. At the same time, travellers arriving at the airport can now connect directly with destinations in Germany via rail.
