CHARLEROI, 16 October 2024 – Volotea has been at Brussels South Charleroi Airport since December 2022, and has now announced the launch of a new route to Bordeaux. From 21 February 2025, there will be two flights a week, on Mondays and Fridays. The airline’s 180-seat Airbus A320s will be flying between Bordeaux and Brussels-Charleroi. Tickets are available now on the airline’s website – https://www.volotea.com.

A popular destination with Belgians, Bordeaux will be available from Brussels South Charleroi Airport from 21 February. To begin with, flights will be running on Mondays and Fridays. Starting in the 2025 summer season, there will be connections between Bordeaux and Brussels-Charleroi on Thursdays and Sundays.

“We are delighted to be able to offer Bordeaux to our passengers thanks to Volotea,” confirms Philippe VERDONCK, Chief Executive Officer of Brussels South Charleroi Airport. “Every year, tens of thousands of travellers fly to this destination in south-west France. Volotea is helping to diversify the range of services we offer. For almost two years now, the airline has demonstrated that it is a partner that our passengers and the airport can rely on.”

A port city on the Garonne, right in the heart of a wine-growing region, Bordeaux is world-famous for its fine food and its enviable way of life. With its rich history, the city boasts a surprising historical heritage, featuring a blend of modernity and contemporary architecture. A weekend exploring all the different parts of Bordeaux, as well as its historic sites and its famous Cathédrale Saint-André is a breath of fresh air, only a few hours from Belgium. If you’ve got more time on your hands, there are plenty of stunning attractions to visit and explore in the region: from Arcachon Bay and its beaches to the Dune of Pilat, not to mention the different nature reserves with their breathtaking landscapes.

Gilles GOSSELIN, Volotea’s Country Manager for France, observes: “We are delighted to announce this new connection between Brussels-Charleroi and Bordeaux, boosting the range of destinations available from BSCA, which already includes the highly successful route between Brussels-Charleroi and Nice. We are delighted to be able to offer this direct flight at competitive prices, so that Belgians can visit Bordeaux, and the residents of Bordeaux can explore Belgium. We would like to thank Brussels-Charleroi and Bordeaux airports for their support, and we cannot wait to welcome passengers onboard from next February.”
