## Description

With more than 13,000 m² of business-jet parking and customs and immigration on site, Flanders International Airport Kortrijk-Wevelgem (KJK/EBKT) is built for business aviation rather than scheduled traffic. It lies about 10 kilometres west of Kortrijk in West Flanders, close to the French border, and its single runway of 1,900 by 45 metres suits corporate jets and light turboprops but not widebody freighters. That combination makes it useful for urgent spares and aircraft-on-ground movements for the region's textile, furniture and machinery industries, but there is no scheduled service, no cargo terminal and no regular freight handling. Genuine air cargo has three gateways within easy reach: Ostend-Bruges (OST/EBOS), roughly 60 kilometres north-west, is a dedicated cargo airport with freighter operators including Egyptair Cargo; Brussels Airport (BRU) is about 90 kilometres east; and Liège (LGG), Belgium's largest freight hub, sits some 130 kilometres away. The A17 and A19 motorways and the proximity of Lille keep road feeder runs to those gateways short and routine. For forwarders, KJK is a business-aviation address, not a freight station.
