Brussels Zaventem Airport (BRU) to Athis

The drive from Brussels Airport to Athis

The route covers 103 km (65 miles) and typically takes 1 h 12 m. Athis lies in the western part of Belgium, so the journey runs southwest across the country, away from the Brussels ring and toward the province of Hainaut. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other, and your driver takes you straight to the door without changes or waiting for connections.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or late-afternoon rush hours, when traffic around Brussels slows down. Bad weather and roadworks can also add minutes. If you have a fixed appointment in Athis, it is sensible to plan a small buffer after landing.

Choosing the right vehicle

Because Athis is a quiet destination far from the airport, many travellers book for a family or a small group with luggage. The options cover every group size:

• Private Taxi (1-3 or 1-4 passengers): suits solo travellers, couples, and families with a few suitcases.
• Private Minibus 8 Seats: a good choice for larger families or friends travelling with extra luggage.
• Private Minibus 16, 24, 32, 40 and 48 Seats: for wedding parties, school or sports groups, and corporate events arriving together.

If you are unsure which vehicle fits, pick the next size up when you carry bulky items such as prams, golf bags or musical instruments.

About Athis

Athis is a small village in the Walloon province of Hainaut, close to the French border. It is a calm, rural setting rather than a busy tourist centre, which makes a door-to-door transfer far more practical than trying to piece together a journey on local connections. Guests usually come to visit family and friends, attend local events, or explore the surrounding countryside.
