Yes. The question I have isn’t the port themselves giving permission, more a case of I can’t find in the Belgium regs allowing an off airfield/approved heliport takeoff.
In many other countries I’ve flown off airfield stuff isn’t an issue, however Europe appears to be a minefield with every country having different requirements. example; France - Helisurfaces permit required and PPR for every off airfield operation.
