Antwerpen International Airport (Deurne) (IATA: ANR, ICAO: EBAW) is located 2 km from the City of Antwerp, Belgium. It has a maintenance hangar of VLM Airlines. In 2005 it served as many as about 105,937 passengers (only counted: Scheduled Flights, Business Flights and Charter Flights). In 2006, the airport served 147,849 passengers. Due to its short runway length (under 1500 meters), it is not possible to operate larger aircraft at the airport. Because this limits the growth of the airport and also due to stronger runway regulations, an extension of the runway towards Borsbeek is planned.
