The NH90 coming from EBFN will make a pit stop in a meadow in front of the Castle at Grood-Bijgaarden to pick up the flag. Overflying the Royal Palace at 12:06:50Z 700ft AMSL, then heading for Watermael where the flag will be dropped before turning right towards Waterloo and from there back to base ...

OO-SFB did a "Go and Touch" minutes ago.

According to FR24 she was bound for AMM, though I doubt it is for a cabin refit and painting, but that was a 7-minute flight. Up to 1800ft max and return immediately.

Hope nothing serious.

Meanwhile, ... Today three (3) flights to AFI. Strange. Earlier this week, SN said that the transition from 2 to 5 long-haul aircraft was postponed to 8 August, thus this week only 2 A330s were available, the other ones still being in hibernation. ..... Well in military terms this is no time for st...

" ... it will postpone the extension of its flight schedule in August, due to its worsening financial situation ." Why cancel the flights if you have passengers paying for it? Say 3 (additional) A330s, flying each 5x2 flights in one week = 30 segments. 7000 Pax : 30 = 233 Pax/flight. Not a bad load ...

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.

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.
