Re: 2022 Military escalation Russia - Ukraine - USA - NATO - Europe

It seems the tension and troop build-up around Ukraine is still mounting. What would be the immediate impact on civil aviation if Vlad eventually invades the whole of Ukraine on a misty morning in february/march ? Will all civil traffic in,or coming through , neighboring countries PL,HU,RO,MD,SK,BL ...

Re: 21 July 2020: military parade

5 F-16s will launch tricolour fumes 5 f-16's only? I thought there had to be 2 planes per colour of the flag to avoid that a colour would be missing if one of the pods doesn't work, like happened years ago. This used to be the task of the Alpha-jets; did the F-16's already do this 'tricolour' thing?

Re: Trip Report Copenhagen - Brussels with SN

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Let's assume that it's true, and I very much doubt it. Why could it not be true. 1. It's in the interest of the leasing companies aswell that SN stays alive . I can imagine that talking to the leasing companies to obtain lower rates was one of the first things mr Dierickx had in mind mid march when...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Does anyone know if the SN-planes are carrying CARGO these days?(and hence hopefully generating some extra revenue)
Or is Lufty chaneling every piece of freight originating in Belgium or SN's destinations they can get hold of through Frankfurt?

SN already adjusted their schedules many times and I can feel that they are itching to postpone flights. As I said earlier, I had bookings with Easyjet and Transavia and they were cancelled while route relaunches are being postponed week after week due to low bookings. Well, if we may rely on last ...

Re: BRU 29/05/2020

And first SN flight to China:
STD 14.00 BEL9933 A333 OO-SFG to TAO
SN9933 on its way to the Far East indeed. As per FR24 bird used is OO-SFX.

Considering the SN Flight number used , are all those Belgian planes going empty i.e.without cargo to China?
