Antwerp Airport

General information Antwerp Airport

Antwerp Airport is an international small airport, located in the Flemish part of Belgium. Antwerp Airport is part of the French group Egis, which guarantees commercial operation. The basic infrastructure is for the account of the Flemish government. Antwerp Airport was officially opened on 23 May 1923. During the Second World War the airport was bombed and the square was occupied by the German occupation as a test and transit base. In 1946 Belgium got the airport back. Antwerp Airport now has two runways. In popular parlance it is also called Deurne Airport, because it is located on the territory of the Deurne district.

In addition, there is the popular destination London. Other destinations are Tunisia (Enfidha), Austria (Innsbruck), Mallorca (Palma de Mallorca), Croatia (Split) and the cities of Nador and Tangier in Morocco.

London has a number of airports, with London City Airport closest to the city of London itself. From the airport there are good connections to the city center by public transport. From London City Airport you can be in the heart of London within half an hour. In about three hours Tui Fly will take you from Antwerp to Alicante and the always sunny coastal area Costa Blanca. This is an ideal starting point for a trip to the popular seaside resort of Benidorm.

Flights

Important advantages are the friendly service, quick check-in, timely departure of the aircraft, short walking distances and affordable parking. The airport is very close to the city centre of Antwerp. This is beneficial for tourism, but the disadvantage is that there are many residential zones around the airport. This has to be taken into account in terms of noise pollution, environmental considerations and, of course, safety.
