RECOVERY INCENTIVE JUL20 - MAR21

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 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.
