Beveren Heliport

Voluntary closure by the operator. The operating license was revoked at the explicit request of the company that owned and operated the heliport, Maselis NV. The specific business reasons for the request (e.g., economic, change in transport needs, logistical changes) were not made public, but it was not closed due to an accident, regulatory enforcement, or military conversion.

The site is the rooftop of the Maselis NV industrial facility located at Nijverheidsstraat 11, 8800 Roeselare (Beveren), Belgium. The area is no longer maintained or used as a heliport. While faint markings may be visible on some satellite images, it is now simply part of the building's roof structure within an active industrial park.

Beveren Heliport was a private, corporate rooftop heliport. It was located on top of the main building of Maselis NV, a prominent family-owned company specializing in grain processing and food ingredients. The heliport's primary function was to facilitate executive and corporate transport, allowing for rapid travel for company leadership and key personnel, bypassing road traffic. Its significance was not public or military, but rather as an example of private corporate aviation infrastructure in the region, serving the specific logistical needs of a single large enterprise.

There are no known plans or prospects for reopening the heliport. Since the closure was initiated by the owner, any reopening would require the company to reverse its decision, invest in bringing the facility up to current standards, and successfully re-apply for a new operating license from the Belgian Civil Aviation Authority. This is considered highly unlikely.
