Yeah, and I'll add that I was under 25, as was the entire capital of Belgium. There's no way 20 can involve flying over more people, but I think most will agree that the best solution is not to use Zaventem: either build a new airfield to the SW of Brussels, or move the flights elsewhere. With EU being headquartered in Brussels, the only way I'd consider operating into there would be if I had a guarantee from the government not to have flight ops interfered with nor to be liable for any lawsuits. Yes, the EU will bring added revenue, but those seats are being taken by lawyers.
Anyway, DHL will probably be playing BRU off Leipzig for a while, but ultimately, it'd make more sense (and money) to move to Leipzig.
