Finally the day has come ! The ban on the use of DHMO solvent comes into force today after having been used for many years in aircraft maintenance activities ranging from preparation of surfaces prior to painting and even to engine performance restoration. Dihydrogen monoxide is a mild solvent that ...

Slow times lately so I thought I’d share with you some pics taken during my last trips. I had been invited to visit Djibouti airport (HDAM-JIB) at the end of November. First time in the country for me, not that I saw much of it though. The republic of Djibouti is small by size, 2/3 of Belgium, with ...

Oh, my bad then.

Hi, it's a wild guess, but maybe because they BRU-based A330's don't have a cargo crew rest? OO-SFP has been transferred to BRU yesterday, maybe for this purpose? ... OO-SFP is indeed planned to run SN9901 tomorrow. Leaving BRU at 0900, arriving DSS at 1410. Maybe a repatriation flight. Return afte...

in the meantime people and businesses should prepare for immediately after Covid-19, with Belgium and with Brussels Airlines. You seem to think that Covid 19 will disappear overnight and that it will be business as usual the next morning, I think it won’t. ... I agree with you. First it will not be...

OO-SFP went straight to stand 174. Gate A74 or T74? I doubt there is any border control at the end of th...
