Lien, I think one of the A319 is used for flights to Helsinki, and other destinations where there is sometimes a need for this capacity. I think th...

Hi everybody I'm flying on Airbus 330 and I have to say that the cockpit is very quiet. And this is really important when you have long duties. It is also reasonably wide and confortable. But like the A340 she is very unconfortable in turbulences. This is due to her wings. There is a ratio between ...

Eveybody shoud be satisfied.
Yes sn26567, that's true. Question is: will the new airline receive the same 'advantages' as Ryanair?

Hi,

Is it also correct that they own (part) of Hellas Jet, the airline that SNBA is having codeshare agreements with on the BRU-ATH route?

Hi,

Seems also that they will have interesting destination, but only in France for the moment, and all of them leisure destinations: Biarritz, perpignan, Nimes and Toulon.

Does anyone have an idea of the 'impact' on Brussels-South? Should be quite important no?

Such a layoff would normally have hit the press! I did not hear anything about it. VEX is not doing badly: why should they fire people now, when their network (but not their fleet) is expanding?
