Antwerp International Airport, commonly known as Antwerp Deurne Airport, serves as the primary airport for private jet and business aviation movements in the city. Located approximately 5 kilometres southeast of Antwerp’s city centre, the airport offers one of the most convenient arrival points for travellers visiting Belgium’s diamond capital.
The airport’s proximity to the centre of Antwerp allows passengers arriving by private jet to reach the city’s historic core, business districts and diamond quarter in around 15 to 20 minutes by car under normal traffic conditions. Its location makes the airport particularly popular for corporate travel connected to Antwerp’s diamond trade, port logistics sector and fashion industry.
Antwerp Airport primarily handles regional commercial flights, business aviation and general aviation traffic. Due to its relatively short runway, the airport is best suited to light jets, turboprops and smaller business aircraft, which frequently operate private charter flights to and from destinations across Western Europe.
For larger cabin aircraft, private jet travellers may also operate through Brussels Airport, located roughly 45 kilometres south of Antwerp, with onward ground transfers to the city. This dual-airport access provides flexibility for private aviation clients travelling to or departing from Antwerp.
Dedicated ground handling services at Antwerp International Airport support both arriving and departing private jet passengers, assisting with aircraft parking, passenger processing and coordination with ground transport for seamless travel to and from the city.
