About Ghent/Industry Zone Heliport
Ghent/Industry Zone Heliport is a hospital heliport serving Ghent University Hospital in Ghent, East Flanders, Belgium. Known by the ICAO code EBGT and the IATA code GNE, it primarily supports emergency medical services and air ambulance flights rather than scheduled passenger traffic.
The heliport is located on the Ghent University Hospital campus southwest of central Ghent, at approximately 51.02°N, 3.73°E and an elevation of about 8 metres. Its dedicated helipad allows medical helicopters to bring patients directly to the hospital for urgent care.
Unlike a commercial airport, the site has no public passenger terminals, check-in desks or baggage facilities. Access is restricted, and helicopter operations require prior permission and are generally limited to performance class I helicopters on HEMS and air ambulance missions.
By road, the heliport is about 4 km from the historic centre of Ghent and close to Gent-Sint-Pieters railway station, which offers onward rail connections to Brussels, Bruges, Antwerp and other Belgian cities. Taxis, private transfers, chauffeur services and rental cars provide ground transport for hospital visitors and staff.
