North Sea Aviation Center (NSAC), an FBO located at Ostend-Bruges International airport in Belgium, has launched its own private jet charter brokerage department.

Over the past five years, NSAC has established a strong foundation in customer service, fostering a corporate culture centred around personalised service and trust-based relationships with clients, while pursuing a long-term diversification strategy. This approach includes offering a business centre in its terminal for aviation-related enterprises. It provides hangar space for private jets, general aviation aircraft and helicopters, covering 10,000sqm, positioning itself as a home base for all types of aircraft.

“Our aim is to create a robust value chain with our clients and other aviation companies,” says managing director Erik Vermeersch.

This year, NSAC is embarking on a new venture into private jet charters, assuming an advisory role to source the best aircraft or helicopter at the most competitive prices, tailored to the client’s budget and flight type needs. Abbas Miri is serving as aviation advisor; he has a background as an aircraft engineer and a passion for aviation, and his enthusiasm extends to advising clients on optimal solutions. “I believe there are many successful entrepreneurs yet to discover the convenience of business aviation,” he says.

NSAC is committed to raising awareness about business jet chartering among entrepreneurs less familiar with this option, a market development that could benefit users and support existing Belgian players in the sector.

“We would love to discuss any partnership for our charter department, where we are looking forward to building strong long term relations. We made a very good start above our targets in just four months, and we hope to extend this globally,” Miri continues.

Charters are a natural extension of NSAC’s services, and it plans to collaborate with existing Belgian and European partners, respecting current market relationships. The company is also set to expand its regional expertise to an international level. Unbound by location, it offers flights from anywhere in the world to any destination and Miri is available 24/7 to assist clients.
