Hire a Private Jet to or from Brussels
On the two days of a European Council summit, Brussels handles 35% more flights than on the same weekdays in the weeks around it. Most of the extra flying is by large jets, whose numbers more than double, while turboprops fly at their usual rate.
The pattern follows the summit calendar, so it can be planned around, and the European Council publishes its meeting dates well ahead. Nine of the ten summits between March 2024 and June 2026 added at least 15% to the day's traffic, and Brussels Airport takes the extra flights. A large jet wanted for a summit day is best requested as early as possible. Last-minute is often still possible, but the choice of large aircraft can narrow on those dates.

Private aviation activity (2025)
London is where Brussels flies most, and the route does not rely on one airport. The 750 flights between the two cities in 2025 were spread over five London airports. Farnborough Airport took 25% of them and has been the busiest in each year since 2024. Brussels handled 12,168 private jet movements that year, the most in Belgium. Sion, in the Swiss Alps, is its fourth busiest route, and 49% of those flights fall between December and March.

What the data shows
Charleroi is a turboprop airport
90%
Brussels Airport flights flown by jets
73%
Charleroi flights flown by turboprops
70%
Charleroi flights flown by PC-12s
Brussels has two airports, and each handles a different kind of aircraft. Jets flew 90% of the 2025 movements at Brussels Airport. Large and long-range jets, airliner-sized ones included, made up 34%. Charleroi turns that around. Turboprops flew 73% of its movements, close to three times the European airport average, and the share has barely moved in 2026.
One type accounts for almost all of it. The Pilatus PC-12 alone flew 70% of Charleroi's movements, and large jets are rare there. EAPC, a fractional-ownership operator that Pilatus called Europe's second-largest civilian PC-12 operator in 2021, is based at Charleroi. The airport is also about an hour from central Brussels by car, against about half an hour from Brussels Airport.

Methodology: LunaJets filters and enriches the raw data: each flight is matched to its airports, city and aircraft category, then aggregated. Figures cover 1 January to 31 December 2025 and include private and business jets, VIP aircraft and turboprops. Helicopters and scheduled airline flights are not counted. Each departure or arrival at the city's airports counts as one movement.

Private aviation facilities
Brussels Airport offers dedicated executive terminals and FBO services from ExecuJet and AviaVIP, with private lounges, crew facilities, customs support and aircraft parking. Antwerp has a separate business terminal and established private aviation handlers, while Charleroi operates its own Business Aviation Terminal for aircraft up to 45.5 tonnes.
Slot constraints & peak demand
Brussels Airport is slot coordinated, with additional restrictions on night movements. Major EU and NATO meetings can increase demand for slots, parking and preferred handling times. If the required arrangements are unavailable at Brussels Airport, Antwerp or Charleroi may be reviewed as alternatives. Antwerp's 1,510-metre runway and 06:30-23:00 operating hours require aircraft-specific planning, while Charleroi offers a 3,200-metre runway but applies a 45.5-tonne limit to business aviation handling.
Transfers & airport choice
Choose Brussels Airport for central Brussels, the European Quarter, NATO and the widest aircraft flexibility; Antwerp for Antwerp, Mechelen and northern Belgium; or Charleroi for Waterloo, Namur and destinations across Wallonia. Road-transfer times can vary significantly during weekday traffic.
Which of Brussels Airport, Antwerp and Charleroi fits best depends on your aircraft and on where in Belgium you are heading. Your LunaJets advisor compares the three and coordinates the FBO, handling, slots, parking and ground transfers.

The Hotel on Boulevard de Waterloo, close to the Avenue Louise boutiques, offers panoramic views over Brussels.
Where to dine
Bozar Restaurant, in central Brussels, holds two Michelin stars for modern French cooking. Its chef Karen Torosyan is known for pâté en croûte and pithiviers, served in a Horta building.

Comme chez Soi on Place Rouppe, founded in 1926, holds one star and keeps an Art Nouveau interior with stained glass.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do major EU and NATO meetings affect private jet availability in Brussels?
Major EU and NATO meetings can create concentrated demand for suitable aircraft, airport slots, parking and preferred FBO times in Brussels. This may reduce flexibility around departure schedules or require another airport to be considered.
Booking earlier generally provides a wider choice, although last-minute flights may remain possible depending on live aircraft and airport availability.
What can affect your private jet charter quote to Brussels?
The final quote depends on the route, aircraft category, aircraft positioning and agreed services. In Brussels, airport choice can also affect landing, handling, parking and transfer costs, as Brussels Airport, Antwerp and Charleroi have different operational conditions and aircraft limitations.
Crew waiting or overnight stays, catering and winter de-icing may also affect the price.
Which airport and FBO will be used for my private flight to Brussels?
The airport and handling arrangement depend on the aircraft, schedule, final destination and availability. Most flights use Brussels Airport, while Antwerp or Charleroi may suit selected aircraft and itineraries.
Your advisor will confirm the final airport, FBO and handling arrangements before departure.
Further reading:
Can LunaJets arrange VIP handling and ground transfers in Brussels?
Yes. LunaJets can coordinate VIP handling and ground transfers from Brussels Airport, Antwerp Airport or Charleroi Airport to your hotel, residence, meeting venue or onward destination.
Airport choice and transfer planning can be adapted depending on whether your itinerary is centred around central Brussels, the European Quarter, NATO, Antwerp, Waterloo or another destination in Belgium. The available business aviation facilities can also arrange services such as limousine transport, catering and passenger assistance.
What happens if slots or parking are limited at Brussels Airport?
If slots, parking or preferred handling times are limited, your LunaJets advisor can review alternative timings, parking arrangements or airport options. Antwerp or Charleroi may be considered depending on the aircraft, schedule and final destination, although each has its own operational limitations.
Can I fly nonstop from Brussels on long-range routes such as Dubai or New York?
Yes. Brussels-Dubai and Brussels-New York can normally be flown nonstop with a suitable aircraft. Dubai may be feasible with selected super-midsize, large or long-range jets, while New York will generally require a large, long-range or ultra-long-range aircraft. Final nonstop feasibility depends on the aircraft model, passenger and luggage load, weather, routing and required fuel reserves.

Who operates my private jet flight to Brussels?

Can I charter a private jet with the cabin layout and features I need?

LunaJets can compare available aircraft that meet them and provide cabin layouts, photographs or configuration details where available so the proposed arrangement can be checked before booking.
