Brussels Airport unveils temporary bus station as part of Hub 3.0 upgrades

Brussels Airport will open a new temporary bus station on 7 May 2026. The move is part of a wider upgrade plan called Hub 3.0, designed to improve transport links and modernise the airport’s infrastructure. Over 1.3 million passengers use bus services there each year, with around 600 buses arriving and departing daily. The current bus station will be replaced by a larger facility just 100 metres from the departure and arrival hall. Five platforms will serve all bus traffic, including local public transport and long-distance coaches. Passengers will also have access to luggage lockers and a covered walkway connecting the station to the terminal.

The relocation is one of several changes under Hub 3.0. Other works include a new drop-off zone behind the Sheraton hotel, a renovated central bus station, and improved access to the underground train station. The taxi area will also be redesigned to ease congestion. Looking ahead, a new tram line is planned to link the airport with Brussels by 2031. Last year, Brussels Airport handled 24.4 million passengers, marking a 3.3% rise compared to 2024. The upgrades aim to support growing demand while creating a smoother travel experience.

The temporary bus station will open in early May 2026, offering better facilities for passengers. Further improvements, such as the tram link and renovated transport hubs, are set to follow in the coming years. These changes will form part of a long-term strategy to enhance connections between the airport and the city.
