Brussels Airport welcomed 1.362.145 passengers in February, an increase of 65% compared to February 2022, which was still badly affected by the Covid-related travel restrictions. The carnival holidays, which lasted two weeks (until March) for French-speaking students and one week for Dutch-speaking students, had a positive impact on passenger numbers, with more passengers departing than arriving. The proportion of connecting passengers was more than 16%, double the February 2022 level, confirming Brussels Airport's position as a key hub.

The ten most visited countries in February were Spain, Germany, Italy, UK, Switzerland, France, USA, Turkey, Portugal and Morocco.
