in my view quite a few mistakes & misunderstandings in the different postings:
- DHL is veyr much Flemish oriented. Therefore I would say, those benefitting most from it should bear the annoyance.
- Why not go to Leipzig? I am sure the very ecological German gvt will welcome it.
- I do not think we need DHL at Brussels airport
- We do not need the sort of jobs offered by DHL are good for the quality of family life of its (night shift) employees
- I have been living here for 18 years and I have not been suffering from DHL's night flights before. So something must have changed.

I could go forever but would simply add: thks for your open comments which is why I value such a forum. It is clear however that those dependent on DHL for a living could not agree with me.
But look at what the large European airports do and you will see that Brussels is not doing it the right way, at least not when you are so close to the city.
