Antwerp Airport |
| |

Antwerp has a small airport, located close to the city
center. A couple of airlines maintain connections to a handful of airports,
including London City, Manchester and Liverpool.
For flight schedules, check out the airport's
website.
The VLM
airline has its base in Antwerp, check out their website here. |

Zaventem National airport |
| |
|
Belgium's national airport is about 40km from Antwerp's city center. Flight
schedules can be found on the airport's
website. |
| |
|
|
| |
|
The airport can be reached either by train or bus.
 The
most convenient is the SN Brussels Airlines airpoirt shuttle
which departs every hour from the bus stop on the De Keyserlei street,
near the Central Station (across the 'Century Center' shopping center).
Timetables
and info can be found here.
There is no direct train between Antwerp and
the Zaventem airport (yet - it is planned for 2010). You have to transfer at the north station
in Brussels. You can use the railway
route planner from the national railways - use 'Brussels airport'
for the airport and 'Antwerpen Centraal' for the central station in Antwerp. |
