Airport Information
Frankfurt am Main Airport
Frankfurt Airport serves as the primary gateway for private jet charter to and from Frankfurt and the wider Rhine-Main region. Located approximately 12 kilometres southwest of the city centre, the airport is one of the busiest aviation hubs in Europe and functions as the main base for Lufthansa and a key connection point for international travel across the continent.
The airport operates four runways and supports a large volume of airline, cargo and business aviation traffic throughout the year. Frankfurt is also Europe’s largest air cargo hub, which reinforces its role as one of the continent’s most important aviation centres. From an operational perspective the airport can accommodate the full spectrum of private aircraft, from turboprops and light business jets through to large cabin and ultra-long-range aircraft operating intercontinental routes.
Frankfurt Airport is a slot-coordinated airport, meaning arrival and departure slots must be requested in advance for both commercial and private aircraft movements. Demand for slots can increase during major international trade fairs and corporate events hosted in the city.
The airport operates with a strict night curfew between 23:00 and 05:00, when scheduled aircraft movements are not permitted. This restriction is an important consideration when planning late evening arrivals or early morning departures.
Dedicated general aviation handling facilities provide discreet passenger processing and ground services for private jet operations separate from the main airline terminals.
Road transfers to Frankfurt’s financial district typically take around 20 to 25 minutes depending on traffic conditions.

Frankfurt Egelsbach Airport
Frankfurt Egelsbach Airport serves as the primary general aviation airport for the Frankfurt region and is located approximately 16 kilometres south of the city centre near the towns of Egelsbach and Langen. The airport provides an alternative access point for smaller private aircraft operating in the Rhine-Main metropolitan area.
Unlike Frankfurt Airport, which functions as one of Europe’s largest airline hubs, Egelsbach is dedicated almost entirely to general aviation and corporate flight activity. The airport is widely used by turboprops, very light jets and light business jets operating regional flights across Germany and neighbouring European countries. Egelsbach is also frequently cited as one of the busiest general aviation airports in Germany in terms of aircraft movements.
Operationally, the airport has several limitations that distinguish it from Frankfurt Airport. The runway length and maximum permitted aircraft weight restrict operations primarily to turboprops and smaller business jets, meaning midsize and large cabin aircraft typically operate through Frankfurt Airport instead. Because of these limitations, Egelsbach is most commonly used for short-haul corporate travel within Europe.
Despite its smaller scale, the airport plays an important role in supporting business aviation in the Rhine-Main region and can be a practical option for companies located in southern Frankfurt, Darmstadt and surrounding industrial areas.
Road transfers to Frankfurt’s financial district typically take around 25 to 35 minutes depending on traffic conditions.

Frankfurt Hahn Airport
Frankfurt–Hahn Airport is a secondary aviation facility located in the Rhineland-Palatinate region of western Germany, approximately 120 kilometres west of Frankfurt. Despite its name, the airport sits considerably further from the city than Frankfurt Airport or Egelsbach and is rarely used as a primary gateway for business travel to Frankfurt itself.
The airport is best known for handling cargo operations and low-cost airline traffic, but it also supports general aviation and occasional private aircraft movements. Hahn’s long runway and relatively unconstrained airspace allow it to accommodate a wide range of aircraft types, including large cargo aircraft and long-range jets.
One of the airport’s key operational advantages is that it operates without the strict night curfews imposed at several major German airports. This makes Frankfurt–Hahn a practical alternative for certain late-night or early-morning aircraft movements when scheduling restrictions apply elsewhere.
Because of its distance from the city, private jet travellers visiting Frankfurt generally prefer Frankfurt Airport, while Hahn is more commonly used for specialised operations, repositioning flights or cargo movements.
Road transfers to Frankfurt typically take around 90 minutes to two hours depending on traffic conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
The BLAK team answers the most common questions and covers the essentials for those thinking about flying to and from Brussels.
When would a flight into Brussels use Charleroi instead of Brussels Airport?
While Brussels Airport (EBBR) is the primary gateway for private aviation serving the capital, Brussels South Charleroi (EBCI) can sometimes be used depending on aircraft size, parking availability or scheduling flexibility. The two airports provide complementary options for business aviation movements into the Brussels region.
Do EU meetings affect private jet traffic into Brussels?
They can. Brussels hosts frequent European Union summits, ministerial meetings and diplomatic gatherings, which can increase business aviation traffic into the city during certain periods of the year. Operators will often plan arrivals and departures around these peak windows.
Can long-range private jets operate easily into Brussels?
Yes. Brussels Airport regularly accommodates large cabin and ultra-long-range business jets operating intercontinental private flights. The airport’s infrastructure allows aircraft arriving from destinations such as North America, the Middle East and Asia to operate comfortably.
Why does Brussels appear frequently on European private jet itineraries?
Brussels sits between several major European capitals, including London, Paris, Amsterdam and Frankfurt, placing it along one of the continent’s busiest private aviation corridors. This location makes it a natural stop on multi-city business itineraries across Western Europe.
