Kortrijk-Wevelgem airport is one of the six official border crossing airports in Belgium, as such EBKT is able to accommodate you for entry into/exit from the EU.

Please take note that following Brexit, a GenDec for the Belgian border police and Customs is required for travel to/from the UK.

All relevant information can be found on https://www.police.be/bordercontrol/en/general-declaration.

Be advised, this is the Belgian requirement and is not the same as the GAR required by the UK police/border control!

Once submitted the GenDec for the police, please forward the received PDF-file via mail to customs via da.controle.roeselare@minfin.fed.be.

Unfortunately this still has to be done manually, coordination between the border police and customs is not yet provided by these services.

Our apologies for the inconvenience.

For questions, you can reach us via info@kortrijkairport.be.

On October 8th, 2020, new IFR-procedures for RWY 06 where officially published.
These new GPS-based procedures, allow for the first time in the history of the airport Kortrijk-Wevelgem to take-off and land on instruments when the easterly oriented runway 06 is in use.

Our deepest gratitude goes out to all involved who have turned this into a reality. ??The procedures can be found in the Belgian AIP, Part 3 AD > Public Aerodromes > EBKT Kortrijk/Wevelgem:
