Antwerp International Airport is five kilometres from the Diamond District — the global centre of the rough diamond trade. FFGR Belgium provides specialist ground service for diamond industry clients, private aviation, and Flemish business travel.
Antwerp International Airport (IATA: ANR) is not simply a regional airport. It is the gateway to the Antwerp Diamond District — the global epicentre of the rough diamond trade, where approximately 80 percent of the world's diamonds pass through the bourses and vaults of Hoveniersstraat, Schupstraat, and the surrounding streets of the diamond quarter.
FFGR Belgium's relationship with Antwerp Airport is built around this reality. Our clients arriving at ANR are frequently senior figures in the international diamond trade, luxury goods acquisition, Port of Antwerp business, or Flemish cultural and institutional life. The transfer from ANR to the Diamond District takes 8 minutes. That proximity — and our understanding of what happens at the destination — is what distinguishes our Antwerp service.
The Antwerp International Airport private terminal, located on Luchthavenlaan, accommodates private charter arrivals with a level of discretion that the main terminal cannot provide. FFGR Belgium's access credentials at the private terminal allow vehicle positioning in the dedicated VIP parking area immediately adjacent to the facility — a step-off to vehicle transfer of under 2 minutes.
For Diamond District clients, FFGR Belgium has developed a specific operational protocol. Our chauffeurs are familiar with the parking and access restrictions within the diamond quarter, the permitted vehicle staging positions outside the principal bourses, and the security and anti-surveillance considerations that apply to high-value goods movement. Where clients are transporting significant purchases or conducting multiple-appointment itineraries, FFGR Belgium can integrate a CPO officer into the vehicle complement.
The Antwerp Diamond District has four principal bourses: the Antwerpsche Diamantkring, the Antwerp Diamond Bourse, the Beurs voor Diamanthandel, and the Vrije Diamanthandel. Each has specific access protocols and preferred vehicle staging positions. FFGR Belgium's operations team briefs all chauffeurs on the destination requirements before each engagement.
Beyond the diamond industry, ANR serves the broader Antwerp business and cultural community. The MAS Museum, the Fashion Museum (MoMu), the Rubenshuis, the Plantin-Moretus Museum — all UNESCO World Heritage sites — are accessible from ANR within 15 minutes. For clients arriving to Antwerp for the fashion industry, FFGR Belgium provides transfers to the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, the major showroom addresses during fashion week, and the private residences and offices of senior fashion executives.
Antwerp to Brussels transfers from ANR take 45 minutes. Antwerp to Ghent: 50 minutes. Antwerp to Amsterdam: 1 hour 30 minutes. Antwerp to Rotterdam: 1 hour 10 minutes. All routes include ACARS monitoring, fixed pricing, and 24/7 availability.
