Sobre Brussels Airport

Brussels Airport (BRU) is the main international airport for Brussels, Belgium, located in Zaventem about 12 km northeast of the city. It handled 24.4 million passengers in 2025 and is run by Brussels Airport Company.

Brussels Airlines is the home carrier, with flights across Europe, to many cities in West and Central Africa, and to New York. TUI fly Belgium serves holiday routes to the Canary Islands, Morocco, Egypt, Turkey and Greece. Long-haul links include Delta Air Lines to Atlanta, United Airlines to Newark, Washington and Chicago, Emirates to Dubai, Qatar Airways to Doha and Cathay Pacific to Hong Kong.

The airport has one terminal building with two piers: Pier A for Schengen flights and Pier B for non-Schengen flights, joined by a building called the Connector. Arrivals are on level 2, buses and taxis on level 0, and the railway station on level -1.

Brussels Airport is not the same as Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL), a separate airport near Charleroi. From BRU, direct trains reach Brussels-North in about 11 minutes and Brussels-Central in about 18 minutes. Most travelers continue to central Brussels and the European Quarter, or by train to Leuven, Mechelen, Antwerp, Ghent and Bruges.

Consejos de llegada a Brussels Airport

If you arrive on a flight from outside the Schengen Area, you land at Pier B and pass passport control before baggage claim; non-EU visitors are registered in the EU Entry/Exit System (fingerprints and a facial image) instead of getting a passport stamp. Flights from Schengen countries arrive without a passport check.

After collecting your bags, you exit customs into the arrivals hall on level 2. The taxi point is just outside the arrivals hall. For trains, take the escalators or lifts down to level -1, where the station sits directly beneath the terminal. City and regional buses leave from the bus station on level 0, about 100 m from the arrivals hall through a covered walkway.

If someone is collecting you, the official meeting point is in the bus zone on level 0, marked with a "Hello" sign. Use only licensed taxis, which carry a blue and yellow emblem, and decline rides offered inside the terminal.

Belgium uses the euro and runs on Central European Time (UTC+1), switching to summer time (UTC+2) from late March to late October.

Transporte terrestre

The train is the quickest way to central Brussels for most travelers, with taxis better suited to heavy luggage or late arrivals.

  • Train to Brussels and Belgian cities

    The station is on level -1, directly beneath the terminal, with six direct trains an hour to Brussels from early morning until around midnight. Brussels-Central is about 18 minutes away, Antwerp about 30 minutes and Ghent about 55 minutes. An airport rail supplement applies, usually already included in the ticket.

  • Taxi from Brussels Airport

    The taxi point is just outside the arrivals hall. The airport is about 12 km from central Brussels, so road time depends heavily on traffic around the Brussels Ring.

  • Bus to the European Quarter

    STIB Airport Line 12 leaves from the bus station on level 0 and runs to Schuman, Maelbeek and Luxembourg stops in the European Quarter. De Lijn buses serve Zaventem, Vilvoorde and other nearby towns.

  • Rideshare

    Uber operates in Brussels, and the app shows the pick-up spot after you request a ride. The location is not always next to the nearest exit.

  • Private transfer

    Pre-booked drivers usually meet passengers in the arrivals hall or at the official meeting point on level 0. This avoids taxi queues but needs to be arranged before you land.
