Ah, thanks, I've learned something.

It is often done as part of maintenance. One level of check (C? D?) requires stripping the paint so it must be redone anyway.

JNB or CPT is a little overly optimistic.

Wasn't there a BRU-JNB service some 5 or 10 years ago? With a certain degree of success, even? I vaguely remember Sobelair, A340, ..? Though that seems an unlikely combination.

EBZH-EBKH-EBZH, at least ... with any luck, EBZH-EBHN-EBZH, too... or even EBZH-EBTX-EDRK-EDRG and vv... and on a really intrepid day with perfectly adequate weather: EBZH-EBNE-EBZH !!!

for Belgian aviation.

for commercial air transport in Belgium

Recreational aviation is not doing good at all, these days, in Belgium; and certainly not exciting, with several fatal accidents.

above all more planes Yes, that is my understanding too. If SN really re-assumes its original self of a long-haul carrier, with an emphasis on central Africa (plus a solid feeder network to/from BRU), that will make it a high-yield carrier; so that cost and cost-efficiency, while still important, a...

If there ever was a time when the Belgian government has to show What Belgian government? There isn't any! And even if there were one, it would have many problems more pressing. Belgian government never do more than they really need to, yesterday and today and for many days to come. Wallonian autho...

Little as I know about commercial air transport, didn't I always understand that the LH group kept EW up mainly for keeping the low-costers out of Germany? Even if it generates little (if any) profit? Would Mr. De Wilde be so privileged as to know first-hand of such a radical change of policy?

Would this wise decision not be partly due to the efforts and good work of the German CEO Christina Foerster?

Partly, perhaps. But I'm sure the powerful influencers at luchtz^h^h^h^h^h aviation24.be contributed at least as much!

They had every chance to do so before, and didn't - why should they now?

On a technical note, would selling off a part of the company be a competence of the CEO? I should think the board would need to decide, or at least to approve.

Only airliners?

Hm, I would have said "Flight level 100, then, never saw the LV abbreviation... but thanks anyway. Not that it matters much "how high the flight".

What's LV100?

The AIP is supposed to mention that for each individual aerodrome. Here in BE I know that EBAW Antwerp has its own emergency generator, so one can expect them at similar-sized airports. Question is: how long will the fuel last? That's what the AIP does not say. EBAW AD 2.15 Other Lighting, Secondary...

Not a clear question. Do you mean * airline A flies from B to C on days 2,4,6 (with scheduled hours such and such) (with aircraft type this and that) * airline A flies from B to C via waypoints AAAAA BBBBB CCCCC DDDDD * or even something else ? The first should be easy to find. The second cannot be ...

Thanks!

BA? At Ostend?? To what destination?

the only thing they have to find out, is a good noon flight destination Under my eternal excuse of not being an expert on commercial air transport: That is, IMHO, not the right way of thinking in this situation. It is, no doubt, the right way to go about low-yield routes, but ANR was never a place ...

Also, this newspaper has a rather poor reputation, as I understand from a couple of Dutch forums that I frequent. We will have to wait and see. My biggest fear is that the customer base for ANR-LCY (mainly bankers and diamond traders) will have switched to other means of transport, and will not ligh...

"BOAC" is a name well known; but what do "Landor" and "Negus" refer to?
