I used to work for Swissport for 3 months and I am happy not to work any longer for them.
I call it "social dumping". Split shifts, temp contracts, no time to have lunch or break, etc.
To only benifit goes to the invest groups and shareholders

Elections talks.
Now also Reynders wants to avoid flights over BRU capital.
As he is a frequent traveller, he should know that most of the flights turn to the right or the left at the "Noordrand" just to avoid BRU capital.

8APR14 SV923/SV924 HZ-AI3 B748F RUH-BRU-RUH latest gossip has it that all FRA flts will become BRU flights.. Great news! :D Indeed great news but full freighters are still doing bad in BRU. Less 10% and at market freight fares to cry ex-BRU. Only the integrators are doing better and a small increas...

Nice pax figures BUT was is the EBIT (earnings before interest and tax?) Sabena used to fly 100% LF from and to NRT with cheap Japanese TO Y-fares (tour operating) but was never profitable. Same situataion to JNB. So in brief pax and LF figures doesn't mean anything. I am very interesting in the fin...

Any reason why they fly a Dreamliner? Many passengers?

"Schoolverzuim" you call it. Minister of Education Pascal Smet still have a lot of work to do.

Somebody knows what tha Sata a/c is doing near the Satellite building. It didn't move since a few days.

I flew twice into BMA for my job.
+ points: BMA is very close to STO city iso ARN and c/i and boarding go very smooth and fast.

I will miss the Avro RJ's. I flew a lot with them for example from BMA with full powered engines for t/o due to the short rwy. Can an Airbus replace the Avro in BMA?

Following on the heels of competitor Evergreen International Airlines, World Airways CEO John Graber announced earlier today that World will cease operations immediately, and remaining operating businesses including North American Airlines will see significant reductions.

What is the max tailwind at this moment at Brussels Airport with gusts and buffer inclusive?

Like Shuttie said, a lot of police is present around Abelag for the departure and the Ringbaan is closed. I took some pictures this morning with the approval of the police. It's allowed provided that you don't go on the Brussels Airlines parking, delimited by stone blocks (but you can stand on them...

In which direction is the nose? Facing B.house, west or east? Thanks in advance! To South-East. Just behind AF1 is also a B757 I guess from the US GOV with nose in the same direction. Saw also a few spotters taking pictures near Abelag but under control of the police. BTW I spent 1h travelling from...

Near Abelag General Aviation but no way to come there. Sure about that? I heard it would park at EBMB? I've heard the same. I've seen a lot of mobile fences at the Haachtsesteenweg. For sure I just took the ringway from brucargo to brussels airport and police everywhere even at brucargo. I saw also...

According to a spotter in BRU for the moment and met the police, it's ok to spot this afternoon but when Obama arrives this evening, spotting will be forbidden in the immediate perimeter of the airport, and we risk fines up to 250€... So making pictures at public places will be rewarded with a fine...
