Ostend-Bruges International Airport (IATA: OST, ICAO: EBOS) is a regional airport located in Oostende, on the North Sea coast of Belgium. It serves as an access point for both the historic city of Bruges and the coastal resort of Oostende, attracting leisure and charter traffic alongside general aviation and cargo operations. The airport has a long history rooted in military aviation and has transitioned over the decades into a civilian facility. It handles a modest number of passengers annually, with traffic dominated by charter and low-cost carriers serving seasonal sun destinations. Cargo operations, particularly for perishables and express freight, form a significant part of the airport's activity. DHL Aviation operates a major hub at the airport, making it one of the more important cargo facilities in the Benelux region. The runway infrastructure and cargo handling capabilities support both express freight and general cargo year-round.
