Antwerp's airport is close to the city and short on runway, and that shapes every flight. Private jet charter at Antwerp Airport suits light and mid-size jets: the runway is 1,510 metres, so aircraft performance needs checking before a flight is agreed.
Private flights use the general aviation apron and business terminal, and handling is compulsory for aircraft of 3 tonnes or more. Aircraft must hold a noise certificate.
Charter-A will confirm the details at quote stage. Antwerp centre is about 11 minutes away by car, which makes it a short transfer into the city.

The airport is open daily from 07:00 to 23:00 local, with occasional late openings to 00:30 for scheduled flights only. Customs for passengers runs from 07:00 to 23:00 local. Three handling agents are listed: Aviapartner, FENAIR and Aeroservices. No prior permission is required.
The runway, 11/29, is 1,510 metres by 45, asphalt, so performance is the main question for heavier aircraft. Aircraft with a wingspan over 29 metres are limited to taxiways A and F and Apron 1. Evening arrivals face noise checks. Charter-A will confirm requirements at booking.
