Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

FWIW, it has been numerously reported in the past that boardmembers take no remuneration whatsoever... :roll: It's different for each company ( wether airlines or others). Normally, the remuneration, if any, of the Board Members, is inscribed in the Company By-laws and/or decided by the General Ass...

And what about short-haul flights, btw? ;)

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

No newspaper anymore on long haul flights in Business with Brussels airlines. I find this completely outrageous and unacceptable!!!!

(fwiw) On BBC1 Question Time program earlier tonight, the Security Minister Brandon Lewis said the UK government has gathered information that the plane was downed by a missile fired, possibly by mistake, by the Iranians.

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Of course there are a lot of connecting passengers on CDG-BRU, these flights are only bootable as connecting flights... But a significant portion of these passengers traveled from Brussels to Paris by FlixBus first because CDG-BRU-FIH is cheaper than BRU-FIH. Often the ones who check their bags in ...

OO-SFP landed at AMM from DUS about 30 minutes ago as SN9903. Maintenance? Retrofit? Repaint?

OO-SFX currently taxiing at AMM as SN9910 (in preparation for T.O. at last?); due to do SN359 BRU-LAD tomorrow.

OO-SFU operating SN371 to DLA diverted to Kano. Landing there at 16:50Z, first take off attempt 4 hours later followed by a return to the apron. Another hour later she took off for Douala. 4 hours grounded + another 1h after a dry run on the runway may point towards a technical issue rather than me...
