Why are we reaching out? You have booked a crossing with our ship within the period of 1st of May 2026 to 31st of October 2026. However, the booking you have made is completed with an end net price of 0,- DKK. This is of course an incorrect price which differs substantially from the correct price you were informed about. This has occurred due to a system failure. As there is no payment the crossing is seen as unpaid and will be cancelled.

The airport’s current services are all point-to-point. One ambition, says De Valck, is to offer a service into a European hub with a major anchor airline, such as Amsterdam Schiphol (KLM) or Frankfurt (Lufthansa), to give people from the region around Antwerp access to a large choice of onward connections, both to European and long-haul destinations.
