Since Ryanair stopped flying from Prestwick to Charleroi several years ago I only go to Ostend once a year if at all. The journey is just too long and tiring. Direct flights from Prestwick, Glasgow or Edinburgh to Ostend would be more than welcome and it would be a service that I would use several times per year. However, would there be enough demand for a point to point service? Would it be better if there was a route from Scotland to Ostend and on to somewhere else? Belgium is very poorly connected to Scotland, especially the west coast so I will be following this with great interest.
