About Ostend-Bruges International Airport
Ostend–Bruges International Airport (IATA: OST, ICAO: EBOS), commonly known simply as Ostend Airport, is an international airport located 2.7 nautical miles (5.0 km; 3.1 mi) south southwest of Ostend, Belgium, near the coast and about 25 km (16 mi) from central Bruges.

The airport covers about 350 hectares (860 acres) of land and has one 3,200-metre (10,500 ft) runway.
