Aérodrome de Namur

What Aérodrome de Namur does

Aérodrome de Namur (ICAO: EBNM) is a Belgian privately-held aerodrome and integrated event venue operating from a single site in Suarlée, near Namur in the Walloon Region, established in 1940 (some sources reference 1944). The company operates two parallel runways — a 24G/06D asphalt strip and a 24D/06G grass runway designated for glider operations — alongside fuel services covering AVGAS 100LL, UL91, and Jet A1, with PPR (Prior Permission Required) access through a navigation office. The aerodrome serves aviation enthusiasts (pilots, glider operators, skydivers, drone pilots, helicopter flights) and is also a hub for a business center with eight rental-ready seminar rooms (Tipsy, Stampe, Stemme, Renard, Conseil, Jumbo, Rooftop, Espadon) accommodating 1-400 persons, plus outdoor lawns, a 50-seat restaurant, 64-seat Véranda, and 100-seat terrace.

The company's commercial proposition rests on a hybrid revenue model. Transaction-based aviation revenue includes €20 landing fees and unit-priced aviation fuel sales. Venue rental revenue is quote-based across seminar rooms, the Rooftop (up to 400 persons), and runways for exclusive events. F&B is operated exclusively through a captive subsidiary, Brasserie de l'Aérodrome 'Flycook SRL' (BE 0762.490.769), with five additional caterers for larger event scale. Team-building packages combine aviation experiences (glider towing, helicopter baptism flights, drone piloting, flight simulators, the FREDDY Challenge tablet game) with ground activities (laser clay shooting, VR escape games, electric scooters). Pricing for seminars, team-building, and large events is custom-quoted via Catherine Rousseau at [email protected], while restaurant reservations and event parking (€10) operate on fixed unit pricing.

The company distributes entirely through direct channels — on-site sales, online reservations, the navigation bureau, and a website featuring a virtual tour, downloadable 2026 brochures, and a newsletter. Marketing relies on the corporate website, social media (Facebook EBNM page), newsletters, and community-driven events such as Spring Day 2026 with cycling event sponsorship. Customer segments span B2C aviation enthusiasts, B2B corporate clients (seminars, conferences, team-building, product launches), private event organizers (weddings, birthdays), and walk-in restaurant guests. The business is GDPR-compliant (Regulation EU 2016/679) and holds no disclosed patents, no funding rounds, and no institutional investment; the approximately 26-person organization functions as a family-operated venue with a defensive multi-revenue-stream structure rather than a growth-stage enterprise.
