If I counted well ABD has been doing more than 16 T&G. And the nimbies are reacting as expected,trying to contact Air Belgium to ask for an explanation and suggesting once again Vatry as an alternative in the true Nimby spirit.

On saturday 22/12 ,Air Belgium will perform some 24 touch-and-go's at OST airport.
Aircraft to be used: OO-ABE.

The Nimbies will be happy.

From what I’ve read elsewhere, the UAVs in question here seem far from toys. There have been reports of 7+ UAVs in the air around EGKK simultaneously, some reports even mentioned “petrol powered” UAVs. This is a delibarate act to bring one of the UK’s biggest airports to a standstill, not some kid ...

A Vamos 747-400 took over from Air Belgium's A340-300. Seating capacity? SLM's own A343 has 12C + 303Y.

A free parking ticket for every customer in the bar, e.g. consuming more than €10 ? I was having the same idea? Why not give a voucher for the parking or so for customers of the restaurant. This year I have been at the airport 3 times , 2 times for lunch, 1 time to drop off some relatives for the B...

What about the future of the remaining OO-VLS? And what about the other 'assets' from SHS Antwerp aviation? Tradename VLM? Slots at LCY? AOC? Apparently ,just after the stop of activities, there were quite some interested parties to take all this over in 1 'package'. Has this been formalized alread...

Landed at EBBE just right now...

Qeshm Air (Iran) to add Belgrade as a technical stop on its A320 service from Tehran to Brussels and Hamburg from 30 November 2018.

Stop at Belgrade to refuel,I presume. Are oilcompanies in BE/GE/... again refusing to supply kerosine to Iranian planes for fear of US sanctions?

It seems the Belair brasserie at ANR is shrinking down its opening hours the coming weeks/months. No opening on mon,tue,wed and on thursday only from 11till19. Open in the weekend though fm 11 till 22hrs. Reasons claimed: no longer its own entrance and stopping of VLM-flights which led to a lot less...

Two days ago I was flying EDI-BRU on SN. A large number of passengers were connecting in BRU to a score of European destinations and to TLV. I ask again: network airline or point-to-point? Carsten Spohr is of bad faith if he doesn't realise this. Valid point indeed. Last year(sept) we came back fro...

Didn't I read somewhere last year that one of the ex-SN A330's,in view of these being amongst the eldest A330's still flying, would be evaluated by Airbus for doing some structural testing?

ANR to HAM in 1h20, to NCE in 1h50... simply not possible with an ATR72. Saab 2000 maybe? By coincidence I received this week a promotional email of 'valaisprive' which is about to set up daily links between LCY and Sion with DO328Jet equipment. The flights between UK and CH are offered 'for member...
