Aviation services provider ASL Group, which is now the exclusive general aviation aircraft handler at Belgium’s Liege Airport, on Friday unveiled its new $8 million (€7 million) general aviation terminal (GAT) following a nine-month construction project.

Under an agreement signed with the airport in 2019, ASL built a 2,700-sq-ft (250-sq-m) terminal, which includes a reception area, in-house police and customs service, conference rooms, pilot lounge with work area, a flight training center, and bathrooms with no-touch fixtures. A large rooftop terrace overlooks the airport and surrounding area, while the glassed-in multifunctional space on the second floor can be used for meetings and receptions.

The entire building was designed for sustainability, employing an eco-friendly wood support structure, with thermal and acoustic insulation. Floor heating maintains a base temperature that can be quickly altered in any room through a building automation management system. Rainwater is recycled, and an on-site micro treatment plant will take care of any wastewater, while sensors detect occupancy in every room and monitor natural light to increase or decrease the contribution of light fixtures.

Those environmental features continue to the 22,650-sq-ft hangar, which can accommodate the latest ultra-long-range business jets. The facility was initially slated for completion in summer 2020, but a company spokesman said the construction timetable was affected by the pandemic.
