Welcome to Belgium! Brussels Airport is the gateway to Belgium, that small, but colourful country in the heart of Europe. At the airport, you may already have tasted some of our Belgian treasures such as chocolate, fries and beer and admired Belgian fashion or Antwerp diamonds.
Still, the best way to get to know a place is to explore it for yourself. And that’s one of the benefits of Belgiums small size: everything is within easy travelling distance. You can stand in front of one of our tourist highlights in less than an hour and a half. What’s more, Brussels Airport provides direct rail connections to the major tourist cities.
We are, in a manner of speaking, the first proud ambassador of our country and we’d like to help you on your way with a few tips for places to see in Belgium. We would also like to draw your attention to our partner organisations, the 3 regional tourist agencies.

National strike on Tuesday 12 May
What is the situation?
On Tuesday 12 May there is a national manifestation in Brussels. Brussels Airport expects a limited staffing at certain service suppliers which has an impact on airport operations.
What does this mean for my flight?
Unfortunately, a large number of departing flights will have to be cancelled. This can also impact certain arriving flights.
In the upcoming days, the airlines will contact passengers directly to inform them of their options.
The flight overview on this website will show cancellations only once they are registered by the airline.
Public transport
Impact is also possible on public transport. Please consult the website of NMBS/SNCB and De Lijn for the latest information about their services.
Brussels Airport regrets the inconvenience caused by this union action.
