Rfscenerybuilding has recently released their accurate rendition of the Brussels South Charleroi Airport (EBCI) for Microsoft Flight Simulator. The airport is the second busiest in Belgium, boasting an impressive yearly average of 8 million passengers pre-pandemic.
Located in the Gosseli district on the northern outskirts of Charleroi, 46 km south of Brussels, Belgium, the Brussels South Charleroi Airport is the largest airport in Wallonia and the second-largest in terms of passenger traffic in Belgium. Charleroi is widely known as a popular low-cost alternative to Brussels Airport (EBBR) and serves as an important hub for Ryanair, WizzAir, and TUI fly Belgium, offering an extensive intra-European network. It is also home to Air Belgium, a scheduled and charter airline founded six years ago that offers many holiday destinations, including Guadeloupe, Martinique, Mauritius, and South Africa.
Brussels-Charleroi has a rich history that dates back to 1919 when it was a flying school with maintenance activities starting the year after. To this day, it remains a busy general aviation airfield with three flying schools. However, the airport’s traffic grew exponentially in the late 1990s when Ryanair embraced Charleroi for the first time, becoming one of their continental bases. Other low-cost carriers, such as WizzAir, soon joined the trend, further increasing the traffic figures and justifying the construction of a new terminal. The new terminal opened in early 2008, with a capacity for up to 5 million passengers a year, but it wasn’t long until it reached its limit. This led to the creation of a second terminal in 2017, accommodating up to 10 million passengers a year.
The Brussels South Charleroi Airport scenery designed by Rfscenerybuilding is impressive, featuring an accurate rendition of the airport and custom buildings around the area, custom vehicles, custom objects and clutter, navigation infrastructure, and custom lighting. The product is available on SimMarket for EUR 18.00 and requires at least 680 MB of free disk space to install.
