Airline support & new routes
Incentive package for airlines from 1 July 2020 until 31 March 2021. The
incentive is a rebate of €2 for departing passengers and €1 for transfer
passengers for a period of nine months. This will automatically be
deducted from the bi-monthly aeronautical charges invoice.
RECOVERY INCENTIVE JUL20 - MAR21
RECOVERY INCENTIVE APR21 - DEC21
The consultation on aeronautical charges for April 2021 – March 2026 has
been postponed with two years. Therefore charges as from April 2021 will
only go up with CPI.
Brussels Airport will thus neutralize this increase for nine months, from
April 2021 until December 2021 with a new recovery incentive of €0,30 for
departing passengers and €0,15 for transfer passengers. This will
automatically be deducted from the bi-monthly aeronautical charges
invoice. The consultation will be launched January 2022, with
implementation as from April 2023. The current new destination
incentives and growth incentives remain valid for these extra two years.

Traffic growth initiatives
To promote all airlines and their destinations we use 4 different websites. Everybody knows our main Brussels
Airport website but some of you may forget we also have a website called BRUXX, that focusses on Belgian
residents between 18 and 34 years. On BRUXX we show some of the cheaper European and North African flights
from Brussels Airport. Apart from that we also maintain dedicated websites for The Netherlands and for France.

TRAVEL INTENTIONS SURVEY
Do you know we also develop travel guides to promote destinations and to inspire travellers? We have over 40
travel guides introducing destinations all around the world. These guides can be found on our different websites.
Curious? Check out the travel guides for Dubai, Tangier and Rome!

again in 2021. In November 2020 already 61% of
the travellers in 2019 wished to return to the skies
in 2021. In January and February this share has
increased to 65%.
