Car Hire Charleroi Airport - Mini guide to Charleroi Airport
Charleroi Airport, also known as Brussels South Charleroi Airport, is a large airport located just outside of Charleroi, in Belgium. While it's located more than 45 kilometers outside of Brussels, it is capable of handling more than 5 million passengers per year. It remains one of the largest and busiest airports in Belgium. The airport offers both food and beverage service, and car hire services are available for newly arrived passengers.
Of course, getting to Charleroi airport couldn't be easier. While it's located along major traffic arteries, it is also connected to the main train station in the area by regular bus services. Buses run every 30 minutes and to the Midi Station in Brussels every 45 minutes. Major service from the airport began in the 1970, with the addition of regular service to London. Traffic was low, however, and service soon ceased. The airport primarily operated with general aviation traffic, and remained so for more than a decade. During the 1990s, heavier traffic into Brussels dictated the use of more airport services. There is now regular service into Charleroi Airport for millions of passengers annually, including major airlines RyanAir and others.
The airport sees heavy traffic each year, and the traffic demands are increasing quickly with the EU capital in Brussels. The airport acts as a major destination for many European and Asian travelers, and recent expansions should allow it to act efficiently for decades to come.
