So ridiculous this sticking to magnetic headings, with all the cost and hassle it brings. Nobody still navigates by a magnetic compass these days! Align runways to true heading and it will be ok for once and for ever!

Yes I know it takes some organisation and there is a cost for redoing all the procedures - but the longer they wait the worse it will become.

Not enough paint to change 05L into 04L?

EGIS should consider Steven Verhasselt as CEO of the airports ANR and OST.
Marcel Buelens is heading towards his pension.

An answer to a threat ? AirBridgeCargo might get back some slots at Schiphol wich is obviously not good for Liege Airport !

the investments announced 1 week ago might be jeopardized ...
I hope not ... it's always good to be ready for the next opportunity

From "De Tijd" about AirBridgeCargo :https://www.tijd.be/ondernemen/luchtvaa ... 1510922721

Does pressure from Moscow weigh on Liege?

Also Liege Airport takes goood advantage of the chaos at Schiphol . Liège Airport announced last month that the Russian AirBridgeCargo (ABC), which lost 10 weekly flights in Schiphol, would move up to 12 flights a week to Liège. But the decision of Schiphol caused a stir in Moscow . According to De Telegraaf, the Russian government threatened the closing of airspace for Dutch airlines if ABC would lose its slots at Schiphol. Dutch KLM then concluded a deal with ABC. KLM would 'lend' a number of slots at Schiphol to the Russians.

In the meantime it appears that the start-up of ABC in Liège is delayed. According to the company, that has nothing to do with the deal at Schiphol. 'ABC was ready to start 12 flights a week from the start, but the logistics at the airport were not ready for our volumes', says director Sergey Lazarev. ABC therefore opted for a step-by-step plan. It now runs 6 flights a week from Liege and adds extra flights in early 2018.

I dont find it very clear.
Its new traffic then ? Not the one from AMS which will remain there ?
So much that they need the new storage building that will be finished by the end of the year ?

Today 3 abc flights.
If they can do it today, i dont see why they couldnt do it everyday = 20 flights per week easy.
So why the delay, I still dont get your last post fredATC
