Ostend-Bruges marks the inaugural stopover for an electric cargo flight.

This weekend marked a significant milestone at Ostend-Bruges Airport with the arrival of a fully electric cargo aircraft, part of test flights aimed at evaluating electric cargo operations in the Benelux region. This initiative, a collaboration between Ostend-Bruges and Antwerp Airports, seeks to advance low-emission aviation. Regional airports are seen as ideal testing grounds for new technologies due to their infrastructure. Future plans include targeting specialized cargo segments and expanding electric aircraft use to passenger services, with expectations for broader rollout in a few years.
