Brussels South Charleroi Airport has opened its new Terminal 2, which was constructed in the space of just ten months. The first flight to depart from the terminal was a Ryanair service to Budapest on 30 January.
Jean-Jacques Cloquet, CEO Brussels South Charleroi Airport: “It has been much talked about. We have been waiting for it and now we have it, Terminal 2 at BSCA. We can be justly proud of the efforts made by everyone to complete this project in record time. This feat is evidence of the full extent of the know-how and responsiveness we demonstrated in successfully completing this development, which is essential to the growth and diversification of our business.”
The 5,800sqm Terminal 2 has eight check-in desks, three departure gates, and two baggage carousels in the arrivals hall. It also has the facilities available in Terminal 1, including unlimited free WiFi, lounge, refreshment facilities, and a duty free shop.
