BRUSSELS SOUTH CHARLEROI AIRPORT: MORE THAN 500.000 PASSENGERS IN APRIL

Brussels South Charleroi registered 506,177 passengers in April. This represents an increase of 41% compared to the 358,162 travelers during the same month last year.

The large increase is due to the 659 flight cancellations caused by last year’s volcanic eruption in Iceland, affecting nearly 100,000 passengers. Without these cancellations, approximately 455.000 passengers could have travelled in April last year, bringing the growth to 11,3%. This is in line with the strategy of Brussels South Charleroi Airport to focus on manageable growth.

The numerous destinations proposed from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, together with new routes and frequency increase on routes operated by Ryanair, Jetairfly, Wizz Air and Jet4you, are continuously attracting more passengers. The 5 most growing destinations in April compared to the same month last year were Seville, Nador, Tenerife, Budapest, Valencia.

13 new routes have already been launched for the summer season: Athens (Jetairfly), Belgrade (Wizz Air), Volos, Thessaloniki, Rhodes, Perugia, Lamezia, Kos, Almeria, Biarritz, Genoa (Ryanair).
