From 1 July direct shuttle bus between Brussels South Charleroi and Luxembourg

Brussels South Charleroi, the most accessible airport in Belgium, announced the start of a new shuttle service during a press conference today. The service will be delivered by Flibco, the biggest private tour bus company in Luxembourg. The event was attended by Minister André Antoine, responsible for Walloon airport policy.

The Shuttle service will be operational from 1 July and answers a growing demand of our Luxembourg travellers. Flibco runs 24 transfers a day, starting from Metz, Thionville, Luxembourg (3 stops) and Arlon. The low-cost principle of the airline companies also counts for the bus fares: The earlier you book, the cheaper your ticket (tickets for a single journey are starting as of 5 euro).

Jean-Jacques Cloquet, BSCA’s CEO ad interim, said at this morning’s press conference: “The number of French and Luxembourg passengers at BSCA continues to increase. As part of our strategy to provide a better service for travellers, the Friendly Airport is launching from 1 July a bus shuttle service that will take care of 24 transfers a day. This quality service avoids stress for passengers when they leave for or return from their holidays.”

Shuttle tickets can be booked from today on http://www.flibco.com as of 5 € per person. Bookings may be done also through an iPhone application.
