From Brussels-Zaventem's private terminal to regional alternatives — your guide to private air travel in Belgium.
Belgium's geography makes it one of Europe's most efficient hubs for private aviation. Three international airports, a dense European network, and proximity to the continent's major financial and political capitals create a compelling case for private flight as a productivity tool rather than a luxury indulgence.
Brussels Airport (BRU) hosts a dedicated private terminal operated by Abelag Aviation, located on the eastern perimeter of the airfield. The facility offers direct tarmac access, private lounges, customs clearance, and secure parking for aircraft up to ultra-long-range business jets. Ground time from landing to vehicle departure can be reduced to under 12 minutes with pre-cleared crew and FFGR tarmac coordination.
Antwerp International Airport (ANR) is increasingly attractive for clients whose destinations are in Antwerp, the Netherlands, or northwest Germany. The airport handles aircraft up to mid-size jets, maintains 24/7 availability, and offers a significantly quieter operational environment than BRU. Ground transport times to central Antwerp are under 15 minutes.
Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL), primarily a commercial facility, does accommodate private charter operations through dedicated handlers. It offers cost advantages for certain route combinations and serves as an overflow option during periods of high BRU congestion.
For clients departing Belgium for Monaco, the Riviera, or Switzerland, our coordination with FFGR Monaco and FFGR Swiss allows seamless door-to-door itinerary management across the Group network — vehicle, tarmac liaison, aircraft, and onward ground transport at destination.
Empty leg opportunities are available to FFGR Belgium clients through our network relationships with major charter operators. We maintain a non-public database of repositioning flights and alert clients to relevant opportunities on request.
