Bastiaan de Bruijne appointed general counsel at ACI Europe
ACI Europe, the trade association for Europe’s airports, has appointed Bastiaan de Bruijne as its new general counsel. De Bruijne joins the ACI Europe team from Royal Schiphol Group, where he was competition & regulation counsel. He also worked for the ministry of foreign affairs of the Netherlands and with two international law firms. He succeeds Gérard Borel, who is retiring early October as general counsel of ACI Europe.
Olivier Jankovec, director general ACI Europe, said: “I am delighted to welcome de Bruijne on board as our new general counsel. These are increasingly testing times for airports – with sustainability, security, safety, capacity, economics and market access all at the forefront of ACI Europe’s agenda. As we prepare to say farewell and thank Borel for 19 years of impeccable service and dedication to our industry, de Bruijne will ensure continued legal expertise for our organisation and its 500-strong airports membership & world business partners.” (mw)
