Traffic coming from the Netherlands doesn’t haven’t to go under the Scheldt - although totally agree, the Kennedy Tunnel is a nightmare. Can’t see any return in near future to flights - it would still be cheaper to pay the tax in NL than the petrol and time of driving to Antwerp. Those of us who regularly used the LCY/ANR run have all got used to flying into Zaventem, which is nearly halfway to Antwerp anyway and well served by motorway and rail.
