Already since the beginning of the 20th century the airport of Brustem has been one of the major aviation centers in Belgium and Europe. The airport played an important role in world war II and from there on was one of the leading training centers for Belgian military aviation. In 1996 the site was decommissioned and military activity was re-allocated.
