Brussels Airport is approximately 15 kilometers from the city center, compared with around 60 kilometers for Charleroi. The change is expected to shorten ground transfers for business travelers, tourists and passengers visiting EU institutions.
A railway station beneath the airport terminal provides direct connections to Brussels Central in less than 20 minutes, according to the airline.
The airport also offers rail links to the European Quarter. The No. 12 airport bus reaches Schuman Square, home to the European Commission’s Berlaymont headquarters, in approximately 30 minutes. Travelers heading to the European Parliament can use rail connections serving Brussels-Luxembourg station.
