Frontex Agents Begin Operations at Belgian Airport

September 12, 2025

In April, the Belgian government approved a Royal Decree proposed by Minister of the Interior Bernard Quintin, permitting Frontex agents to operate within Belgium. Subsequently, in July, Belgium formally requested the deployment of Frontex return facilitators.

The eight agents have been in Belgium since last week and are also deployed at the national airport, where they work alongside the Belgian aviation police. This initiative aims to enhance the number of return facilitators and expedite return operations.

The Royal Decree further permits Frontex agents to assist in checks at the airport and other external borders. “We are in talks with Frontex for additional border control support as well. We will continue to prioritize this in the upcoming months,” Quintin stated in a press release.

Established in 2004 at the behest of the European Commission, Frontex assists member states in monitoring the European external borders and is headquartered in Warsaw.

    Oh great, just what we need—more “facilitators” at the airport. Because nothing screams efficiency like a few agents in uniforms trying to figure out who’s here for a holiday and who’s just lost! 😂✈️
