The airport's operator, BSCA, expects activity to fall by 12%. Its capacity drops by about 18% before counting growth from other airlines. Air Journal reports that 36 fixed-term contracts were not renewed, and that about 200 Ryanair cabin crew based at Charleroi are affected, with possible transfers.
BSCA says it had planned for these cuts and remains fully operational. It is asking the federal authorities for a predictable framework before decisions on summer 2027.
For you, the airport stays open and Ryanair keeps 75 routes there this winter, according to Le Soir. If your route is one of the thirteen withdrawn, see the item of 20 October.
