More than 450,000 travellers will pass through Brussels South Charleroi Airport during the Carnival Holidays

CHARLEROI, 19th February 2025. The Carnival Holiday is fast approaching! In a few days’ time, Charleroi Airport will be welcoming a larger number of passengers, eager to get away from it all and discover new landscapes, far from the dullness of Belgium. Whether it’s a city-trip, holidays in the mountains or on the beach, or family reunions, there’s something for everyone thanks to the wide range of destinations from Brussels South Charleroi Airport.  

In a few days’ time, over 450,000 travellers will pass through Charleroi Airport for the Carnival Holidays (from Friday February 21 to Sunday March 9), with departures peaking on the first and second weekends. Whether it is to go on vacation or to visit friends and family, passengers will be spoilt for choice, as the airport offers no less than a hundred direct destinations and almost as many indirect ones via Istanbul (with Pegasus). Among these destinations, why not seek out the sun of France in Bordeaux, which Volotea will serve with two flights a week from Friday 21st February? Or the sun of Reggio Calabria, also served twice weekly by Ryanair? Are you more of a mountain person? Brussels South Charleroi sends you to Cluj-Napoca, a Romanian town located 15 km away from some of the world’s most beautiful ski resorts. Whatever your choice, Charleroi Airport will have you travelling from the moment you arrive in the terminal, and even before!

In fact, for the Carnival Holidays, a “winter sports” atmosphere awaits you in the terminal. Brussels South Charleroi Airport’s partners are ready to welcome you in the best possible way! In a warm, family atmosphere. Whether in the Plaza, where you can enjoy Belgian fries in front of sports broadcasts on a giant screen, in the terminal, where the food court offers something for everyone, or even on the outdoor terrace, where you can view take-offs and landings at close quarters!

Any tips for a stress-free journey?

The journey begins as soon as you arrive at the airport! And for a stress-free start, nothing beats being prepared. Valid identity documents, online check-in, allowed hand luggage to transport liquids, use of Ryanair Kiosks to check in your luggage, forewarned is forearmed! Also, to make the most of the airport’s stores and food shops, why not opt for the fast-track, which reduces your waiting time at security checkpoints, or for the lounge, a quiet place with a view of the runway to work or relax before your flight?

So, are you ready to board? Brussels South Charleroi Airport and its partners will do their utmost to welcome you in the best way possible.
