Re: Ryanair in 2015
I agree its no big deal, but I wouldn't call it a non-event either. Not only is it indicative of mediocre product standings, it may actually be labeled a sanitary issue even And here we go again!

Re: Four dead in the crash of an Embraer Phenom 300 in Hampshire
It may well have been. But why are we once again speculating instead of patiently waiting for the official investigation? But the report is already available Jan!

Re: Four dead in the crash of an Embraer Phenom 300 in Hampshire
Landing from an unstable approach is a common cause of accidents.
Flanker is alluding to a possible criminal act, but I think there are other ways to do this as going off the runway end at high speed is not a guarantee for "success"

Re: A Boeing piece found near Liège.
Passenger- please don't read what is not written!
We were talking about the airworthiness of the aircraft. Will you stop driving your car whenever you loose the little door covering the petrol cap?
Of course the falling part could've caused damage on the ground, luckily it didn happen.

Re: A Boeing piece found near Liège.
An aircraft can be despatched with some pieces missing for up to several months. Usually this results in performance and or fuel penalties.Passenger wrote: the aircraft involved should have been taken out of service for repairs soon after 31st July, and this one wasn't.

The real cause for the divertions is the lack of extra fuel, not the weather.

Re: Three Ryanair "emergency" landings in Valencia on same day
A couple of facts/explanations from a frontliner: - the verdict is clear: Ryanair complies with the existing fuel requirements. - the court states that they could have taken more fuel, this is absolutely correct, but that wouldn't have changed anything. This is how it works: typical diversion fuel M...

Re: Lufthansa CEO: "SN could become part of Eurowings"
Some here seem to forget that SN has been kept artificially alive by state aid and loans/guarantees of LH. The only chance to survive is an integration in LH. LH will dictate the rules for such an integration otherwise there will be no integration at all, but whats in a name?

Re: Emirates A380 is in Brussels on Friday 18th Sept 2015
C class on the EK 380 is awesome, by far superior to what European carriers offer. I have business friends who prefer a stop in DXB to a direct flight because travelling C class on EK 380 is so comfortable.

Re: Tintin Logo Jet Brussels Airlines (Kuifje)
Whilst doing walkarounds I often see aircraft docking, I am amazed that the majority of pilots is just looking in front of them without checking the wing clearance.

Most of those people bought their house knowing that it was close to an airport I agree, we move the airport. As the houses around the old airport wil rise in value, owners will have to pay a 70% tax on this profit. Rents can go up by 50% as well. This tax will then pay for the new airport. Sounds ...

Re: SN welcomed 15.0% more passengers in May
These are simply amazing growth figures, not just in volume, but also in the capacity offered: on a par with many of Europe's most aggressive low cost airlines in fact. They must have been pretty confident to be able to fill all those extra seats offered and it seems they were right indeed. Well do...
