Re: Anomalies in BRU-ANR-CRL-LGG-OST in 2022

Yesterday afternoon I was in Brussels and I noticed a Azul A330 descenting into BRU. Checked FR24 and saw that there are scheduled arrivals and departures to Campinas each of the following days. Exited as I was (finaly a direct link with the homeland for the Brazilian community in Belgium??), went t...

Re: Smuggling a kitten on a TUIfly flight from Varadero to Brussels

Well... by coincidence a similar case became a hot news item in (Flemish) Belgium recently.
Maybe you should remove your post if you don't want to get the Federal Food Agency putting you on their most wanted-list?

Re: Impact of the coronavirus crisis on aviation

TAP Air Portugal will not get any more state funds without giving up more control to the government as the carrier is “technically bankrupt”. How bad is 'technically bankrupt'?

Re: What is the weirdest airport you've flown from?

Mumbai (BOM) seems to be a little odd surrounded by slums. Ok, I saw it before in latin American cities, but in BOM those houses are really close to the airport fence. Als uncommon and unlogical that there is another airport (Juhu Executive) literally right across the street, at the end of the busie...

Wow, I didn't realize that the AC aircraft was that low already.
I think the passengers on board of the waiting planes did not notice a lot, but some of the flight deck crews probably crapped their pants.

If they were fitted with proper business class, they could be an interesting substitute (economics to be checked of course) for A320s on medium haul destinations such as TLV, DMD, the Canaries, Funchal, in addition to US/Canada East coast and West Africa, and maybe to open a couple of destinations ...

A Kalitta 744 flew extremely low over my back yard (north side of Aalst) some 15 minutes ago. The are days (wind direction, spreading plans... ?) that this location is a busy turning point for planes approaching BRU (like it 8-) ).
