During the Easter holidays, Brussels Airport is expecting close to 1.1 million passengers at the airport. After the careful resumption of bookings in this holiday period last year – with 900,000 passengers – this year’s Easter holidays are back to being a period in which people are looking for enjoyment and want to take a holiday. Sun destinations, city trips within Europe, and holidays farther from home, such as to the United States and the Dominican Republic, are very popular.
Nearly 1.1 million passengers will depart from or arrive at Brussels Airport between Friday 31 March and Sunday 16 April. Which is almost 200,000 more than in last year’s Easter holiday. Where there was a careful restart after the corona pandemic last year, this year people are once again traveling a lot during this holiday period. Both Friday 31 March and Sunday 2 April are the busiest departure days during the first holiday weekend. This year is the first time that only pupils in Flemish schools are free during the Easter holiday. In French-speaking schools, they do not have the two-week break until May.
During the Easter holiday, travelers at Brussels Airport will be able to choose from 160 direct destinations. Sun destinations, such as Spain and the Canary Islands, Portugal, the Cape Verde islands, Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Italy, Croatia, Greece, Turkey, Malta and Cyprus are very popular, as are city trips within Europe. Favorite intercontinental destinations are the United States, Canada, the Dominican Republic, Cuba, Mexico and the United Arab Emirates.
