Brussels Airport

Brussels Airport (EBBR) is a large airport in Zaventem, VBR, Belgium. Pilots and dispatchers reference it by ICAO code EBBR or IATA code BRU. It sits in Europe.

Brussels Airport is a commercial-airline hub that also handles a steady stream of private and corporate traffic. Mixed commercial and private operations mean planners should expect slot coordination, handling agent involvement, and the usual international hub procedures.

Brussels Airport sits near sea level at 175 ft.

Local operations run on Europe/Brussels. Because the field hosts scheduled airline operations, private operators should expect a defined slot environment, possible CDM coordination at peak banks, and limited ramp availability during major event weekends. Booking FBO ramp space in advance is normal practice.

SkyAccess currently tracks 24 departing and 21 arriving private-jet legs at EBBR across the next six months of operator inventory. 8 aircraft from 23 operators are based here or fly through regularly, so most empty-leg supply originates from a local fleet rather than out-of-town repositioning.

As one of the larger fields in Belgium, EBBR tends to be the natural choice for long-range international charters and crew-rest-required flights.

Brussels Airport is the main international airport of Belgium. It is located in the municipality of Zaventem in Flemish Brabant, 12 km northeast of Brussels. Also informally known as Brussels-National Airport or Brussels-Zaventem Airport, Brussels Airport handled more than 26 million passengers in 2019, making it the 26th-busiest airport in Europe. It is home to around 260 companies, together directly employing 20,000 people and serves as the home base for Brussels Airlines and TUI fly Belgium. The airport covers 1,245 hectares and contains three runways.
