Ostend -Brugge: new investments and new routes

Jetairfly is adding 4 new destinations from Ostend-Brugge airport.
Rome (first flight today 31/10!) and Nice Côte d'Azur, Varna and Burgas as from next spring.
On top on that EGIS , the airport operator, announced this week they will invest close to 2 million EUR in the airport including:
- Tax free zone of 800 sq meters.
- facelift for the income hall
- extra 550 new parking places
- creation of a VIP-room
- Setting up a 'fastlane'
- removing of an old watchtower

Also Rental car firms will be sollicited to set up an office at the airport.

Just wondering when there will be an announcement on flights from/to UK airports from OST.

With enhanced infrastructure and new destinations being added every year It seems the airport is definitely in an expansion phase..
Same is true for Antwerp which just saw VLM introducing BHX on 5 Oct and will see JAF adding Rome (also today) ,Nador(Mor) and Split(HR) from next spring.. On top come the announced Extrajet connections to Leeds and Copenhagen.(But let's wait and see for these ones.)
