Same problem here...

It looks like Virgin Express is much less prepared to that kind of operation than Ryanair or Vueling or EasyJet...

Over the years Irish budget carrier has accustomed its passengers to "delayed" and "cancelled" flights. Today I noticed a new member of the class on the carrier's web-site: "indefinite delay". 1010 FR 882 Dublin - Cardiff DELAY Indefinite delay due to technical reasons....

OO-TCL is indeed not the best aircraft in TCAB's fleet. Though all their aircrafts are 'older' if I'm not mistaken (older = over 8 years, correct me if I'm wrong). I flew TCL also, in July 2005, and agree with your comments. Chairs going who recline when not asking for it, tables not working, noisy...

We can not compare Sobelair with TNT Airways. The main goal of TNT is transport cargo. Using our planes for pax during daytime is a good alternative and if this will cause a big profit of 1 million euro for our company I would say, good job TNT Airways. PS: I have to say also that using TNT Airways...

When its Brussels-South (aka Charleroi) base is closed due to adverse weather conditions (read fog, snow, etc.) Irish budget carrier operator usually diverts to Liege Airport, Oostende or Paris-BVA (aka Beauvais). In other words Ryanair is keen to avoid "mainstream" (read expensive) airpor...

During their summer 2006 Jetair road show this week, they informed the travel agents about the new flights to Turkey. They talked about : - aircraft of 5 years old - Airbus A321 capacity 210 seats - gives them more flexibility than 1 ac of 320 seats - means : more direct flights, more frequency, le...

On 14/12/2005 Irish budget carrier Ryanair announced five new routes from its Charleroi (aka Brussels-South) base. The new services include four "sunny" leisure destinations: Faro, Malaga, Nimes and Valencia and Salzburg (Austria). Three of the "leisure" cities are already propos...

Thanks for your live report.

It looks like Mr Ryanair will not agree with you...

Don't worry, BeN, I posted the English text in Luchtzak's news earlier: https://www.aviation24.be/article10444.html I had no reason to worry but be as consistent as the delete/edit the message with the Dutch text. Indeed many members would not understand this breach of the rules by a moderator... i...

Flew the same route with them in May and I'll fly it again in November. I've found Easyjet WAY more friendly then Ryanair: You can actually understand the English the stewards and stewardesses speak, the seats DO recline and, last but not least, when you leave on a Friday-evening, there's still par...

My reliable source tells me that this very Polish newspaper itself is in extreme financial difficulties, after they've lost 37.000.000 USD in an offshore investment. Their bank therefore has withdrawn a loan for five new prepress computers, which makes it difficult for them to compete against the o...

It's always nice to see a Lotus air, so let them stay at Bru. It's not because they had a problem earlier that you have to forbit them. Everything what the press is writing is not correct, see couple of days, weeks ago with all the crashes. As HorsePower rightly pointed out this story is true... Mo...

Instead, passengers who want a drink or snack can purchase refreshments through our onboard easyKiosk from a selection of hot and cold drinks, alcoholic beverages, snacks and confectionery. So why the oven? Crew meals maybe? On my last EasyJet flight (SXF-MST) they sold a kind of hot snack. From wh...
