Passengers call it : « Charleroi Airport ».
For airline companies and official instances it’s called « Brussels South » and its ICAO is « EBCI ». This midsized airport is the second biggest airport in Belgium, behind « Brussels Airport – EBBR ».
The airport is situated in « Wallonia », the French-speaking part of Belgium and is located north of the city of Charleroi, in the town of Gosselies.
The airport has grown exponentially since 13 years ago due to the success of the low-cost airlines. Ryanair has transformed Charleroi Airport into one of his main European HUB's !
Ten years ago the airport had a yearly frequency of about 500.000 passengers. In a few years time the number of passengers had grown to 8.000.000 every year. That is almost half of the population of Belgium
traveling through Brussels South every year!
In 2011, a new terminal has been constructed on the north-side of the site to accommodate the passengers more easily. This new terminal has a capacity of 6.000.000 visitors but was already saturated after a few
years. The number of passengers continued to grow further and is now around 8.500.000 per year.
In some time, additional construction works have to be done in order to be able to welcome other airline companies.
At this moment, three companies (Ryanair, Wizz Air and Jetair) share almost 100 destinations between them.
The main destinations are Italy, Spain, Morocco, south of France and Greece.
Charleroi Airport is equipped with a single ILS-system, on runway 25. The runway length permits landings and departures of planes type Boeing 737 and Airbus 320.
The old terminal has been transformed into an airline school and is also used for the accommodation of private pilots.
