KQ's chief pilot has stated that the 737's wreckages were found at a distance of 5,42 km of DLA airport. So according to him, the aircraft hasn't been airborne for more than 30 seconds . Though he did not want to enter polemics with Cameroon authorities, this is really puzzling, when one remembers t...

I'm very skeptical on that. BRU-Scandinavia is the typical market where you have to operate on multi-daily frequencies to succeed.

Just my opinion...

We often talk about bird-strikes on this forum. In fact such incidents shouldn't be underestimated. Watch this video with attention and untill its end: :shock: http://www.flightlevel350.com/Aircraft_Boeing_757-200-Airline_Thomsonfly_Aviation_Video-8457.html Well played by the pilots. Incident happen...

Incredible !! We haven't seen such a mess for years in Zaventem !! Since Sabena's demise ???
Anyway, I will not judge the strike and its reasons, but it's a very very SAD day again for Belgian Civil Aviation...

Anyway, it's always the same music. I certainly don't want to defend Jet-Air, but for more than 24 months we keep on reading more or less the same stories about JAF in the media and... their flights/booking are always full. I don't know if people are masochists. But it reminds me some stories of pas...

There seems to have been a technical issue as well as the bird's next flight to Montreal was heavily delayed as well. KLM "investigates".

You don't stay 150 minutes on the ground for a small refuelling...

Rgds,

What are the engines on this bird, are they the same as the other 3? No, this one has got PW4000's as the other 3 have GE CF-6 engines. SNBA had the opportunity of getting one of 3 ex-Austrian A330 with CF-6's which were younger (but at higher leasingrate), but eventually they hesitated too long an...

I'm not that enthusiast to be honest... I always have a look at the a/c type pop-up in order to know which variant an airline is going to use (319-320-321-738-AR1-AR8...). Everyone (well almost ok!) knows that BA is going to send an "A320 Series" for its BRU-LHR run. Don't we ? I guess it ...

By taking some random dates in april on Galileo you notice: CO 61 04/16/07 09:45 AM BRU EWR 04/16/07 12:00 PM 777 J9 D9 Z9 R0 Y9 H9 K9 M9 N9 B9 O9 V9 U9 Q9 I9 S9 W0 T0 X0 L0 CO 60 04/28/07 06:45 PM EWR BRU 04/29/07 08:15 AM 777 J9 D9 Z9 R9 Y9 H9 K9 M9 N9 B9 O9 V9 U9 Q9 I9 S9 W9 T9 X6 L6 8) :) :D FB.

I read and respect your comments JAFlyer and Gliding-Glider . If you find the forums are full of crap and childish comments, I would suggest to both of you not to come anymore ;-) though this would be sad. But still I don't find it very clever to say that pax hadn't to complain because they would ha...

Hello Camel, You speak in your answer about "SLR-SLS-SLT-IHV " that Sobelair could provide in case of problems. What are those "SLR-SLS-SLT-IHV"? Thanks a lot for the answer, Olivier. OO-SLS, OO-SLR,... are the 767s that SLR used to operate in the good days of the Belgian charte...

Dear all, It’s so easy to shoot on the tour operator / airline c.q. Jetair and their airline company in regard to the unfortunate AOG of the OO-TUC. I can and do strongly understand their position, having spent myself lot's of years in the airline business and having encountered, unfortunately, the...

I love the OO-VEN picture Bottie !!

Congrats !!

@royke777:

Excellent pictures, I've seen that DC10 from the motorway yesterday !!

How easy is it to spot in Liege ? Are there recommended locations ?


F.B

Have you read that one in the spotters section ???? :lol: :lol: :lol: "The use of equipment that can monitor aircraft frequencies is illegal and can interfere with the flight instruments." What a piece of crap... How do they do in AMS, LAX, NRT, LHR,... There must be a lot of interferences...

:arrow: Some major corporate travel agents have received the visit of 9W'sales team members. They will fly from Brussels, it's just a matter of having the airplanes delivered since UK was the first priority for 9W (and the U.S of course...). In fact 9W BRU office has been active for more than year n...

I've seen the picture as well on A.net and was really amazed to see that bird in BRU, but now I remeber having seen a Qatari Amiri A342 or A343 some years ago in LGG. So not with the QR colours but with those of the Qatar Govt. So if hunting is the explanation... :P 8) BTW, today I feel like taking ...

Anyway, just amazing to notice that in 2007 BRU will host no less than SIX American carriers. This is a good news for BRU Airport !! Nice recovery.

The next targets are Jet Airways and why not a link to SE Asia and Japan !

That runway length issue is bs. RAM and Air Algérie already operated full flights from CRL to Morroco and Algiers or Oran. With 737, 757 and even 767. Don't ask me the precise year but they did. About Antoine it's a pure political publicity case. No comment... :roll: But the LGG airport management d...
