Charleroi Airport asks passengers to come to airport three hours before departure due to large crowds

The Easter holiday has been very busy at our airports so far. With often long queues.

Ryanair even sent his customers an email in which they state that « Charleroi Airport has no staff to process the large number of passengers. This ensures long queues to safety control … »

That is why the Irish airline advises everyone to come to the airport three hours before departure.

Nathalie Pierard van Brussels South Charleroi Airport says it is very busy, but that there are no long traffic jams today. « That was true last week, but in the meantime there is enough staff, » she says.

« But it is very busy this Easter holiday with 20 extra departing flights. And we are simply limited in space. That is why there are plans to expand the terminal, but that will not be before 2027, » it sounds.

Most people who go this Easter holiday abroad will have left in the meantime or will do so today. This afternoon more passengers are expected in Charleroi.

Next weekend is also expected at the airports. From passengers who return.
