Lufthansa to create a new unit to operate to tourist destinations, both short- and long-haul. The code name of the project is ‘Ocean’.

In competition with Eurowings?

Project Ocean was already mentioned by the Propaganda Abteilung on the "Brussels Airlines in 2020" back in April.

Was at LSGG last week. Hereunder are some pics I took on Friday 03JUL. Traffic is of course much reduced and G.A. makes an important part of it. Commercial is mainly LX and U2/DS. Last week GVA had about 40-50 passenger flights per day, using only the frontal - contact - gates. Satellites are not us...

OO-SSR was to return this morning from PMI as SN1568 but this flight is cancelled according to Flightstats.com. However, she left PMI about at the planned time and his heading towards BRU as SN9922 at normal FL380. Technical? In case of zero Pax, what would be the reason/advantage to fly under a SN...

OO-SFG left BRU half an hour ago as SN1303 bound for ROB. Liberia is one of the first African countries to reopen to international traffic, as from yesterday 28JUN actually. The flight left from B Pier. Could this be a first passenger flight to AFI? SN has reviewed the restart that shows all flight...

Daily review: Air Cote d’Ivoire received US$24.0 million from the Ivorian government to keep it afloat as domestic flights resume. International flights resume from 01 July 2020 . .....

... A restart to Africa will largely depend on how many countries will open their borders. Africa is still very much closed! Indeed numerous African countries closed their borders on March 14 at the same time the Belgian government was considering taking measures. This combined with several measure...

Thanks again KriVa.

Yes I had seen the APP plate for 07L RNP published last week, now I understand why as you said.

Why then is the VOR/DME HJ only as you vector them until they get the RWY in sight after SS. How is that different from flying the VOR (when not u/s).
Thanks.

FedPol helo went on a mission south of Brussels this evening.
Looks like overflying a Vivaqua potable water reservoir.
People getting thirsty after the warm day?

... RWY07L is HJ only... It's not. The VOR/DME approach on RWY 07L is HJ only. SRAs and visual approaches can still be flown after sunset. Though a visual at night is less than common practice, an SRA (at BRU) happens even less often. It's good practice for both the ATCOs and the pilots in question...

ATIS Mike 20:20 : RWY07L SRA. Wind 070 at 9.

I guess SRA is not that common.

Just brief news on Reuters, no reason why. Heinz Hermann Thiele will vote for the proposal. What did he get in return? Such people don't change minds without a good reason. Did Thiele really changed his mind? One week ago LHAG share traded at 10.50, today closed at 8.96. Rumours about possible reje...

Shall they re-open RWY 01 tonight? RWY07L is HJ only and the forecast is for easterly winds, possibly exceeding the 07kt max tailwind. Yesterday I noticed a late arrival overhead, on 07L. SN3772 landing at 2038, SS+38. Next to come in used 25R but with 2-3kts tailwind only. OO-SSW 20200623H2038.png ...

Maybe the flight to MRU could be made triangular as BRU-MRU-RUN-BRU.
Flights from Paris to Réunion are usually not cheap and MRU-RUN is only a 30-min hop....

According to the report, the pilot of the PK-8303 did not follow the procedure and he was overconfident.

What report?

Thanks.

Ouaga is still closed to commercial traffic. Domestic flights may resume as from mid-July. The ECOWAS/CEDEAO ministers in charge of transport and trade had a meeting last week to set up recommendations for a reopening of borders in the region in a harmonized way. So I guess this AEA flight is repat/...
