Re: BRU infrastructure: future

The first layer of concrete looks like this,but on top of this they added a layer of asfalt,at a time it looked like a big parking lot but is was still way lo low compared to the road next to the sattelite.
The will finish it with another big layer of concrete (as shown in your picture)

Re: BRU infrastructure: future

All i can say is that Atlantis is right ! I work on the airport for almost 20 years.( and no i dont work for BAC or SN,...) Since a few years you can see a difference, they have a plan now with where to go to (look at 2040). In the past it was what it was and thats it. A BIG keystone is and was the ...

Re: BRU infrastructure: future

Yes u are correct they will start on apron 4 and end on +- apron 40
The plan is that there will be 2 lines (2x 8 to 10 aircraft or so can't remember exact)

Line 1 will be a power in /power out stands
Line 2 will be power in/push out line

i assume this is for the A west expansion

Re: Terror attacks: explosions in the departure hall of Brussels Airport!

Temporary check-in I was about to ask the same question. Is this the temporary check-in or row 11 as it doesn't look like the terminal building. On the Facebook page of VTM they mention that it is indeed the temporary check-in. http://nieuws.vtm.be/binnenland/184374-dit-zijn-voorlopige-incheckbalie...

Re: Terror attacks: explosions in the departure hall of Brussels Airport!

Interesting for sure. I have to admit that I have no idea what buildings you are talking about: could you please 'translate' in normal locations or somebody who can make a drawing ideally?

Re: What is happening with Brussels Airlines

How if you cannot even acces the airport? People were able to get their cars yesterday...

And this is not imposed by Bru Air,but...

Re: Atcomex, Belgian fuel truck manufacturer, stops producti

Sorry I'm not able to read the whole article, so maybe this is going to be a stupid question. But is there some candidate to take over the remainings of this company and/or the order book? Or is this something Belgium will loose to other countries? I have seen new fueling equipment with the name &q...
