Brussels South Charleroi Airport

Charleroi uses one main passenger terminal configured for short walking distances from check‑in to security to gates. The layout emphasises efficient processing for short‑haul and low‑cost operations; lounges and premium facilities are limited compared with larger international hubs.

Main options: coach, shuttle to the mainline station, taxis and driving - Brussels city centre 45-75 minutes by coach.

• Coach: Several coach operators (e.g. Flibco) run services between the airport and Brussels‑Midi (Gare du Midi); journey time is typically 45-75 minutes depending on traffic and fares commonly range from €5-€15.
• Shuttle to Charleroi‑Sud (train): A short shuttle connects the airport with Charleroi‑Sud station where you can catch Belgian national trains; shuttle time is around 20 minutes including transfer.
• Taxis: Taxis to central Brussels are relatively expensive (typical fares often €60-€90); local trips to Charleroi area are shorter and cheaper.
• Driving: The airport is about 45-60 km from Brussels; drive time to Brussels is typically 45-75 minutes depending on traffic.
