Airport Facts

Charleroi Brussels South, also called Brussels South Airport or Brussels South Charleroi Airport (BSCA), is located near Charleroi, 46 km from central Brussels, Belgium. The airport has the IATA Airport Code CRL and the ICAO Airport Code EBCI.

Flights are mainly operated by Ryanair and Wizzair. Over 2 million passengers used the airport in 2004.
A new terminal is planned with construction to start in 2005 and expected to open in early 2007.

History
The site was formerly known as Gosselies airfield and was the location of an aircraft factory for Avions Fairey now Sonaca.

Ryanair assistance
The European Commission objected to assistance the airport offered to Ryanair, since the airport is owned by the Wallonia regional government and thus the discounts and other benefits could be considered state aid.
