Strategically located and seamlessly connected to major European markets, our airport serves as a pivotal link for businesses seeking unparalleled speed and reliability in cargo transport.

Our prime location places us at the intersection of major European transit routes, offering a significant advantage for air cargo operations, with a special feature of our own: our proximity to the Channel Tunnel (1h drive time) for rapid access to the UK. OST Airport is easily accessible via road, rail, and seaports, ensuring efficient connectivity to major industrial and consumer markets across Europe.

At OST Airport, we pride ourselves on our 24/7 fast and flexible cargo services, with no slots and no capacity restrictions. This dedication to efficiency is further enhanced by a 3,200m runway.

One of our key strengths lies in our extensive warehouse facilities. With 25,000 m² dedicated to various types of cargo and an additional 7,000 m² for refrigerated and freezer facilities, OST Airport provides the infrastructure needed to accommodate a wide range of cargo requirements.

In a significant milestone for the Versluys Cargo Village project, we have successfully completed the construction of 12,283 m² additional warehouses. This expansion underscores our commitment to meeting growing demands in air cargo logistics.

With no slots and fast turnarounds, OST Airport ensures that cargo flights experience excellent on-time performance. The dedicated cargo apron with multiple wide body stands and efficient logistics operations on the ground contribute to our reputation as a premier choice for businesses and logistics providers in Europe.
