Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Emptinne

The drive from Charleroi Airport to Emptinne

Emptinne lies 64 km (40 miles) from Brussels South Charleroi Airport, and the journey by road typically takes around 42 minutes. The route runs south-east from the airport into the province of Namur and ends on smaller local roads close to the village. Since the final stretch is rural, a private transfer is the most direct way to arrive, with no need to plan around connections or carry luggage through several stops.

The 42 minutes is a typical figure. Allow some extra time during the weekday morning and evening rush hours, and in winter weather, when roads in the Namur countryside can be slower than usual. If you are heading to Emptinne for a flight home, building in a comfortable buffer before check-in is sensible.

Choosing the right vehicle

For solo travellers, couples and small families, a private taxi is the natural choice. We offer taxis for 1-3 passengers and for 1-4 passengers, so pick the one that matches your party and the amount of luggage you carry.

If you are travelling with more people, private minibuses are available in a range of sizes:

• 8 seats for groups of up to 8 passengers
• 16, 24 and 32 seats for family gatherings, sports teams or company groups
• 40, 48, 56 and 64 seats for large events, wedding parties and organised tours

Emptinne is not among our most frequently booked destinations, but the transfer is available on request like any other route, and we can arrange it for groups of any size on this list.
