Apron 3 inaugurated at Ostend-Bruges Airport
At Ostend Airport we recently renovated Apron 3. This Apron will be used by flight training schools and also for General Aviation users. Ostend-Bruges Airport has been a popular stopover for traffic between UK and the European continent for many years now. The airport is an interesting alternative for General Aviation; it is ideally located for refueling and filling in immigration forms as it is often the first point of entry in the Schengen zone. But Ostend Airport is not only interesting as point of transit, Ostend, Bruges and Flanders Fields offer many touristic opportunities for General Aviation visitors.
The new apron was officially inaugurated during a press and network event on the 21st October.
