Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Brussels is served by 6 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Brussels Airport (BRU), 11 km (7 mi) from the centre, whose 11,936-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL, 44 km), Lille Airport (LIL, 93 km), Eindhoven Airport (EIN, 98 km), Maastricht Aachen Airport (MST, 100 km), Antwerp International Airport (Deurne) (ANR, 39 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brussels Airport | BRU | 11 km (7 mi) | 11,936 ft | 175 ft |
| Brussels South Charleroi Airport | CRL | 44 km (27 mi) | 10,023 ft | 614 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,936 ft, BRU can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 175 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
