Summary
An economic operator wishing to carry out one of more of the 11 categories and/or subcategories of ground-handling activities at one or both airports in the Walloon Region must be accredited to do so. The service categories relate to airside activities, such as aircraft maintenance, interior and exterior cleaning, catering and administrative assistance.
Access to airport areas is restricted to persons authorised by a badge, which may be obtained after receiving accreditation.
