Its logistics role is best understood as a local or regional gateway rather than a major scheduled air-cargo hub. For international freight, our service team normally evaluates whether the shipment can be accepted directly at Deurne Airport; where regular cargo capacity, customs handling, special cargo facilities or long-haul connectivity are required, we coordinate an alternative gateway and road feeder solution subject to carrier and border-control confirmation. The airport’s location near Antwerp is commercially relevant for shippers connected with the port, chemical, pharmaceutical, manufacturing and distribution sectors.
