Ostend-Bruges International Airport (OST Airport) Ideal Location
Ostend-Bruges International Airport (OST) is located in the Western part of Flanders, Belgium which is close to all major European industrial and consumer markets. The airport is easy accessible via the road- and rail network and seaports in the vicinity of the airport. The airport’s cargo activities grew 150 % in the last two years.
Ostend-Bruges International Airport stands as a pivotal link in Flanders’extensive transportation and logistics network. The airport is known for its 24/7 fast and flexible cargo-services, does not apply slots and does not have capacity restrictions. Strategically located on the intersection of major European transit routes, OST Airport offers an unparalleled advantage for air cargo operations. The region surrounding OST Airport exists of a large uncongested motorway network. This ensures that air cargo operations face minimal disruptions and can maintain a consistent pace, leading to no significant loss of time. This efficient operational environment, combined with Flanders’ strategic positioning in Western Europe – bordering the Netherlands, Germany, France, and enjoying a direct link to the UK through the Eurotunnel – makes OST Airport a premier choice for businesses and logistics providers aiming for unmatched speed and reliability in cargo transport. The airport is less than one day by truck from the largest European cities, thus reaching around 400 million consumers.
Moreover, OST Airport complements Flanders’ robust sea, road, and rail networks. Being in a region that houses major seaports like Antwerp, Ghent, Zeebrugge, Ostend and Calais (to the UK), it amplifies the potential for multimodal freight solutions. Furthermore, its proximity to three prominent train freight corridors in Belgium augments the seamless movement of goods across the continent.
The airport keeps investing in the cargo activities and is building – via the Cargo Village project – 48.000 m2 of additional warehouse facilities, this in cooperation with Versluys Logistics.
