Air Antwerp

Air Antwerp was a Belgian short-haul passenger airline based in Antwerp. Founded in 2019, it primarily served business and regional travel between Antwerp and London City Airport, operating the route with turboprop regional aircraft. The COVID-19 pandemic severely affected demand for short-haul and cross-border air travel, and Air Antwerp suspended operations after a relatively short period before leaving the market. Available public information indicates that the brand is no longer an active airline.

Air Antwerp was established in Antwerp, Belgium, in 2019 to provide direct passenger service between Antwerp Airport and London City Airport. The route was aimed particularly at business travellers, while also serving regional passengers travelling between northern Belgium and London. The airline followed a regional-carrier model and used turboprop aircraft for short-haul flights. From 2020 onward, the COVID-19 pandemic caused a sharp fall in air-travel demand and created prolonged disruption to travel between the United Kingdom and continental Europe. Air Antwerp's operations were consequently heavily affected and the airline eventually ceased flying. Its operating history was brief, and it did not develop a broad route network or an extensive range of products.
