Having lived and worked in the (less than) delightful Oostende for some 2.5 years whereas it is/was a cargo airport that only sees/saw passengers on pitiful summer charters and/or in the event of an occasional diversion it remains an airport in a time warp of somewhere around the 1960's.

They obviously tagged 'Bruges' in to the airport title much the same as a mad Irishman's loco carrier has tagged a city title that people might actually want to travel to/from in to many a regional airfield(s) title, the Belgians and, perhaps, Dutch might enjoy Oostende as a holiday destination but the place is a dump, the tap water comes from the sand dunes, and tastes like it does, and as the sewerage is piped straight out to sea just wait until the wind blows inland ..... the stench is delightful!

And as for dog poo wherever one may tread, ... well that's another story!
