“Regional airports are growing in popularity. Passengers travel here stress-free and don’t have to show up three hours in advance. For many people, this is a determining factor in choosing a regional departure,” said CEO Eric Dumas.
Antwerp expects 70,000 passengers in July and August. The airport hopes to exceed 2019 passenger numbers this summer. Travelers can choose from 12 destinations in Spain, Greece, Morocco, Turkey, Croatia and England. Thanks to the new TUI aircraft, the Embraer E195-E2, farther destinations such as Tenerife, Crete and Antalya are offered from the port city for the first time.
As well as flying TUI, ASL Fly Executive and Luxair also operate flights in the summer. ASL flies twice weekly between 30 June and 21 August from Antwerp to Ibiza and Luxair flies four times weekly to the British capital, London, during the summer holidays.
Ostend-Bruges Airport expects 90,000 passengers in July and August. That figure is in line with last summer’s passenger figures. Travelers can once again choose from thirteen Spanish, Greek and Turkish destinations on TUI fly, the only passenger airline. For the first time since 2019, travelers can also fly to Antalya again. Destinations Türkiye is offered three times a week. The top 3 summer destinations from Ostend are Alicante, Malaga and Tenerife.
