Liège Airport, officially Liège Airport, is Europe's 8th largest cargo airport but also serves passenger flights, mainly charter and low-cost. Located 9 kilometers west of Liège city center, this expanding airport welcomes a growing number of travelers. To reach Liège Airport from any Walloon city or Belgium, taxis remain the most direct and comfortable solution, especially given the limited public transport service.
Taxi Fares to Liège Airport
Taxi prices to Liège Airport vary depending on your departure point. From Liège city center (Place Saint-Lambert, Guillemins), expect to pay between €20 and €30 for a 10-15 minute journey. From suburban municipalities like Seraing (15 km), fares are €30-40 for 20 minutes, and from Herstal (12 km), between €25-35 for 15 minutes.
From Brussels (130 km), the fare is €230-280 for approximately 1h20 via the E40. From Namur (65 km), expect €120-150 for 50 minutes. For travelers from the east, from Verviers (40 km), count €70-90 for 35 minutes, and from the German border at Eupen (45 km), €80-100 for 40 minutes. Our fixed rates include all supplements and motorway tolls.
Liège Airport - Passenger Infrastructure
Liège Airport features a modern and compact passenger terminal, renovated in 2016. Unlike major international airports, Liège Airport offers a smooth and stress-free experience: from entrance to boarding gate, count 10-15 minutes maximum. The terminal has 4 boarding gates and can handle up to 1 million passengers per year.
For taxis, the drop-off zone is located directly in front of the terminal main entrance, with short-term parking free for 10 minutes. On arrival, the taxi pickup zone is located 30 meters from the exit, immediately visible after baggage claim. Being smaller, the service is personalized and our drivers can welcome you directly at the aircraft exit for groups or VIPs.
Access Routes and Journey Optimization
Liège Airport is remarkably well served by the Walloon motorway network. From Liège center, access is via the N3 then the A601 motorway (exit Grâce-Hollogne Airport). The 9 km journey takes only 10-12 minutes under normal conditions. During peak hours (7:30-9am, 5-6:30pm), add 5 minutes for traffic on the N3 leaving Liège.
For journeys from Brussels, two main routes exist: the direct E40 (130 km, 1h15) or the E42 via Namur which adds 15 minutes but offers less truck traffic. From the south (Luxembourg, Arlon), the E25 then E40 is the optimal route. From Verviers and Germany, the E40 is direct and fast, often with less traffic than towards Brussels or Charleroi.
Airport Specificities and Schedules
Liège Airport stands out for its intense 24/7 cargo activity, but passenger flights are concentrated on specific time slots. Most charter flights depart early morning (5-7am) or evening (8-10pm). For morning departures, arrive 90 minutes before the flight - checks are quick thanks to the terminal size. For late returns, taxis become essential as buses stop at 8pm.
The airport recommends arriving 2h before for international flights and 90 minutes for Schengen flights, but in practice, 75 minutes often suffice for regular users. The terminal never being crowded, check-in and security are smooth. Our drivers know these particularities and adapt pickup times according to your flight.
Transport Alternatives to Liège Airport
TEC bus line 57 connects Liège center (Guillemins) to the airport in 30 minutes for €2.50, with a bus every hour on weekdays. This economical option is limited: last departure around 8pm, no service on Sunday, and long journey with many stops. For travelers with luggage or time constraints, taxis remain much more practical for a difference of €18-28.
There is no direct shuttle from Brussels or other major cities, unlike Charleroi. Train to Liège-Guillemins then taxi (€15, 15 min) or bus is possible but adds complexity. Our taxi service eliminates all these inconveniences: door-to-door, flexible 24/7 hours, and guaranteed fixed price. For groups of 3-4 people, taxis even become more economical than bus + train.
