SSP opens first Burger King in a Belgian airport at Brussels South Charleroi

BELGIUM. SSP has opened a Burger King restaurant at Brussels South Charleroi Airport. It is the first outlet of the fast food chain in a Belgian airport.

The 80sq m restaurant is located airside on the mezzanine level of the airport’s Espace Food Court. It has more than 250 seats and is open from 10.30 to 21.30 daily. A team of 20 staff will serve passengers, SSP said.

“Opening a restaurant in the heart of an airport has always been a goal with special significance for the Burger King brand,” commented Burger Brands Belgium CEO Kevin Derycke. “We look forward to offering the 25,000 people that come through Charleroi every day the chance to enjoy the famous Whopper.”

SSP France and Benelux Managing Director Gérard d’Onofrio said: “We are delighted to join forces with Burger Brands Belgium and Brussels South Charleroi Airport to launch this concept. We look forward to introducing Burger King to airport travellers in Belgium.”

Brussels South Charleroi Airport Chief Executive Officer Philippe Verdonck added: “We couldn’t be more excited to be welcoming the first ever Burger King to a Belgian airport. Thanks to our partnership with SSP, we will be doing much to improve the experience of our passengers while offering them a varied range of products.

“Our objective is to continue the development of Charleroi airport, working with partners that share our vision to provide an outstanding experience for our passengers.”
