Destinations from Charleroi for winter 2026-2027

How many routes leave Charleroi this winter?

Ryanair's Charleroi network, which we recorded on ryanair.com on 4 November 2026, lists 104 destinations. Not all of them fly in winter. On 7 November we opened the timetables Ryanair publishes for each one, from December 2026 to March 2027.

The result: 75 routes have at least one flight in December, January and February. That is also the figure Le Soir gave for the winter, reported by Air Journal on 22 October. 28 routes have no published flight from December to February. Newcastle is a special case: the route has been announced as cut, yet Ryanair's timetable still shows three flights on 21 and 22 January 2027.

Other airlines fly too. In our records of flights from 30 October to 9 November 2026, Wizz Air has 116 departures to 16 cities, nine of which Ryanair does not serve from Charleroi: Suceava, Craiova, Târgu Mureș, Arad, Timișoara, Chișinău, Skopje, Varna and Kutaisi. Pegasus has 31 departures to Istanbul Sabiha Gökçen. Air Corsica has one flight to Bastia and one to Ajaccio on Saturday 31 October and Saturday 7 November.

These are the timetables as of 7 November. Ryanair can still add or remove flights, so check your date when you book.

Which routes has Ryanair cut at Charleroi?

Ryanair presented its winter programme on 20 October 2026. According to Air Journal, the airline is cutting 20 routes in Belgium, about 1.1 million seats and six aircraft. At Charleroi, 13 routes are affected: Amman, Dubrovnik, Nîmes, Genoa, Katowice, Lublin, Newcastle, Asturias, Poznań, Reggio Calabria, Sarajevo, Trapani and Warsaw-Modlin. Ryanair blames the Belgian boarding tax, which rises from 5 to 7 euros in January 2027 for international flights of 500 to 3,500 km.

The airport operator, BSCA, expects activity to fall by about 12%, with capacity down by nearly 18% before growth from other airlines, according to Air Journal citing La DH.

If your flight is cancelled, EU rules give you the choice between a refund, another flight as soon as possible, or another flight on a date of your choosing. A cancellation announced more than 14 days before departure gives no right to compensation. The details are in our guide flight delayed or cancelled: your rights.

How many routes per country from December to February?

The table compares the network recorded on 4 November with the routes that have published flights in every month from December to February.

The ten one-route countries are Albania (Tirana), Austria (Vienna), Bulgaria (Sofia), Hungary (Budapest), Latvia (Riga), Lithuania (Kaunas), Malta, Slovakia (Bratislava), Sweden (Stockholm Arlanda) and Czechia (Prague). All of them keep their flights this winter. Each city has its own page in our destinations, with the day's flights.

Where can you find winter sun from Charleroi?

For a milder winter, the network keeps the Canary Islands, Madeira, Morocco, Andalusia, the Algarve and Malta. We set the number of flights Ryanair has published for January 2027 against January temperatures from NASA POWER: the average daily maximum from 2016 to 2025, on the grid cell of the airport. It is a reanalysis, not a weather station, so treat it as an order of magnitude.

Marrakech and Tenerife South average more than one flight a day in January. Lanzarote, Fuerteventura, Gran Canaria and Madeira have around two flights a week, so if you need a set date, check the timetable before booking your leave. Morocco is outside the European Union: the network's nine Moroccan cities and the documents you need are on our Morocco page.

Lapland, Helsinki, Stockholm: the routes to real cold

At the other end of the scale, Ryanair keeps three routes to the north. Rovaniemi, in Finnish Lapland, has 13 published flights in December, 13 in January and 12 in February. Its average January maximum is -9.4 °C according to NASA POWER. Helsinki has 10 flights in January with an average maximum of -3.1 °C, and Stockholm Arlanda 10 flights in January.

With roughly three flights a week, the choice of dates is limited. If you are aiming for the festive season, first check which days the plane flies, then book your accommodation. The Rovaniemi page shows the next flights on the airport's departure board.

Why does January have fewer flights than December?

Of the 75 winter routes, 59 have fewer published flights in January than in December. In total, Ryanair's timetables show 1,898 departures from Charleroi in December 2026, 1,491 in January 2027 and 1,607 in February. Ryanair gives no route-by-route explanation. A few examples:

If your dates are flexible, compare the two months: to Pisa or Faro, the January timetable has fewer than half of December's flights. For a trip of two or three nights, our guide weekend break from Charleroi gives the Friday and Sunday flight times.

Which routes return in spring 2027?

The March 2027 timetables show 25 routes returning between 28 and 31 March, at the start of Ryanair's summer programme. Among them: Rome Fiumicino, Ibiza, Heraklion, Corfu, Olbia, Verona and Zadar. Seven of the thirteen routes announced as cut are also there: Dubrovnik, Nîmes, Genoa, Poznań, Sarajevo, Trapani and Warsaw-Modlin. Their removal therefore seems limited to the winter, subject to change.

For Nîmes, the sources disagree. The director of Nîmes airport announced a restart in April 2027 with two flights a week (Sudinfo, quoted by Air Journal). Ryanair's timetable, checked on 7 November, already shows a flight on 29 March 2027.

Three routes in the network still have no published flight up to 31 March: La Rochelle, Pula and Volos. Amman, Katowice, Lublin, Asturias and Reggio Calabria no longer appear at all in the network we recorded on 4 November.
