Most scheduled flights fly into Brussels National airport (based in Zaventem). Flight arrival and departure information is available by calling BIAC on 0032 2 753 77 53, or by visiting www.batc.be.

There are regular trains from the airport to the centre of Bruxelles (Bruxelles-Centrale, Bruxelles-Nord and Bruxelles-Midi).

Some scheduled flights from the UK and Ireland (Ryanair) use Chareloi airport (South of Brussels).
