The flights are still bookable on the web site of Air France, and Air Belgium is still mentioned after 20 June.

Maybe not yet updated but there was just something like Avaaz do, sorry I can't find the word haha, that a person shared on my fan group, and she said later that AF won't use anymore AB. So I'm still searching for any confirmation, and customer care of AF just takes a loooot of time,something like 3-4 days to have an answer in French or English, that's why I tried in Spanish, really faster but there's no one to answer now #RIP

Not really professional to not double check their posts and make a typo on their one and only destination..

In my fangroup I had someone who has "news"...
But I think they are totally fake, and then someone told me in a comment that flights from 20 June were not operated by AB anymore...

I am still searching for any confirmation, but AF just replied me in Spanish, they told me to directly see with Air Belgium...

I won't contact AB now but their CEO sent this :

And I still have no news of what's true and what's false...

In Dutch, it's Hongkong indeed (whilst in English, it's Hong Kong):

But it's Hongkong, not Honkgong...

Does anyone know what the load factor for the other flights are these days?
Nobody has an answer to this question ? :)

Wrote to the CEO 4x in the last 4 months to offer to make a film of the flight to Hong Kong... and seen as we get more than 100 Million views on You Tube alone this would be fantastic publicity for them and cost them $0...
No answer at all! I guess they don't need free publicity :shock:

Yep and then you wonder why 90% of the airlines in Belgium have failed :)
Hey I was trying to give them a ton of exposure they can't get on their own.... their loss...

Hi all,

Out of interest, I would like to compile a list of all ACMI flights that AB has carried out on behalf of other carriers, but I can't seem to find all the info. Could somebody help me with that? Would be greatly appreciated. ;)

The easiest way is to check both registrations on flightradar24.com

Maybe one reason for companies to fail is when the CEO has to get himself involved in every aspect of his company operations, no?

I would have thought that the Communication Manager would be a first port of call.

Good luck,
