BSCA announces that Ryanair will be offering two more routes this winter.

  • Asturias in Spain with two flights per week, on Mondays and Fridays, from 4 November.
  • Lodz in Poland, also twice a week, on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 1 November.
  • A new border control building was opened in June, which will help to further strengthen and streamline the passport control process.

HOLIDAY UPDATE

The airport is looking forward to welcoming 1.6 million incoming and outgoing passengers this July and August.

To coincide with the summer, BSCA opened the esplanade outside the airport to offer passengers and their companions a pop-up bar as well as food & drink options available from a number of food trucks. This is a friendly, foodie new area to give people a great space in which to wait.

In order to offer the best possible service to its passengers during this holiday period, the airport has hired more than 70 temporary members of staff and 150 students for the next 3 months.

Extra lines have been opened at security to help streamline this part of the process.

During this busy summer period, airlines and the airport recommend that travellers arrive three hours before departure and check their travel documents thoroughly before they set off for the airport.

The whole Brussels South Charleroi Airport team is looking forward to welcoming you and wishes you a wonderful summer!
