Licensed taxis are available 24/7 directly outside the arrivals hall. They are recognizable by the blue and yellow emblem. The fare to the city center is metered and typically costs around €50. Most taxis accept credit cards. Ride-sharing services like Uber are also available, with a designated pick-up zone.
Several major car rental companies, including Sixt, Hertz, Avis, Europcar, and Enterprise, have service desks located in the arrivals hall. It is advisable to book your vehicle in advance. After completing the paperwork, you can collect your car from the dedicated rental car park.
The airport is well-connected by public transport. The train station is located directly under the terminal (Level -1), with frequent trains reaching Brussels Central Station in approximately 20 minutes. The bus station (Level 0) offers STIB/MIVB bus line 12 to the European Quarter and De Lijn buses to regional Flemish towns. Long-distance coaches also serve the airport.
Brussels Airport is an international airport 6.5 NM northeast of Brussels, the capital of Belgium. In 2019, more than 26 million passengers arrived or departed at Brussels Airport, making it the 24th busiest airport in Europe. It is located in the municipality of Zaventem in the Province of Flemish Brabant in the Flemish Region of Belgium. It is home to around 260 companies, together directly employing 20,000 people and serves as the home base for Brussels Airlines and TUI fly Belgium.
The company operating the airport is known as The Brussels Airport Company N.V./S.A.; before 19 October 2006, the name was BIAC, which was created by Belgian law through a merger of BATC with the ground operations departments of the RLW/RVA. Since 2011, the airport has been owned by the Toronto-based Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, Macquarie Group and the Belgian State.
On 22 March 2016, the airport's departures hall was severely damaged by two terrorist bomb blasts. The airport was closed until 3 April 2016, when it was reopened with temporary facilities at less than 20% of its previous capacity. It has since returned to full operations, with a record of 90,000 passengers on 29 July 2016.
The free WiFi at BRU appears to be sponsored by a spam company — if you choose the Google login (and presumably also Facebook), it asks permission to access your full contact list. Your friends won't thank you for selling their email addresses so cheaply.
RWY 02-20 became 01-19 as from 2013-09-16 due to Mag variation
