About ASL Private Jet Services
ASL Private Jet Services operates an FBO at Antwerp International Airport (Deurne), located about 50 kilometers north of Brussels in the heart of Belgium's Flanders region. ASL began offering ground handling services to outside operators here in March 2019, expanding from its original role as a private jet charter and management company founded in 1997. The facility includes ASL's own hangar and lounge space, with plans for further FBO infrastructure within the airport's General Aviation Terminal. Services include short-term and long-term outdoor parking with limited hangar availability, refueling, line service (cleaning, laundry, lavatory service), line maintenance, customs and immigration coordination through airport police and customs, catering, flight planning facilities, a crew lounge, and car rental arrangements. For charter passengers, Antwerp Deurne offers a compact, uncongested alternative to Brussels Airport (Zaventem) for reaching Belgium's northern cities. The airport is just minutes from Antwerp's city center, its diamond district, and its historic port area. The runway at Deurne is shorter than at Brussels or Liege, so large-cabin jets should confirm aircraft compatibility. The General Aviation Terminal opened in 2015 and provides the dedicated infrastructure for private aviation operations separate from any commercial traffic. ASL's dual role as both an FBO handler and a charter operator means the company understands the full private aviation experience from both the passenger and operational perspectives. Ground transport into Antwerp or onward to Brussels, Ghent, or the Netherlands is easily arranged.
