The hub

Kortrijk-vevelgem, a private aviation
gateway for business travel

Kortrijk, known in French as Courtrai, is one of Belgium's most economically productive mid-sized cities, anchored by the textile, machinery, and interior design industries. The broader Kortrijk-Roeselare-Waregem corridor accounts for a significant share of Belgium's manufacturing export base, with a concentration of family-owned industrial groups, design firms, and logistics operators whose principals regularly charter aircraft for intra-European business travel.

Kortrijk-Wevelgem Airport (EBKT, IATA: KJK) functions as the dedicated general aviation and business aviation gateway for West Flanders. With no slot coordination requirements for private jets and customs available during operating hours with advance notice, the airport offers a friction-low departure and arrival experience compared to major hubs. The single paved runway handles light jets through large cabin aircraft, and the ground-side process — from block-in to vehicle departure — typically runs under 15 minutes. Extended operations outside standard hours are possible by prior arrangement with the field.

The airport sits roughly 10–12 minutes by road from central Kortrijk and approximately 45 minutes from Lille (France), 60 minutes from Ghent, and 90 minutes from Brussels. This positions EBKT as a practical alternative to Brussels Airport for West Flanders-based passengers seeking to avoid metropolitan ground delays. The surrounding region draws visitors for textile trade fairs, industrial business summits, and the growing interior design and architecture sector headquartered around the Kortrijk Xpo exhibition centre.
