Re: Storm Ciara 09/02/2020

Festival go-arround in BRU now. 4 landings, 4 missing. With the heavy squalls on the cold-font comming in now, no improvement for the first hour.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

You mean D-AEUD Eurowings Airbus A320-214, still in storage or even one of de A321's coming from Laudamotion. Good idea.

Re: Question about wind!!

No problem for a A320. Wind 10-12kt (17-20 km/h) from the nord but gusty, possible 20-25kt (35-47 km/h). Expect some tubulence in lower levels. Weather fair to partly cloudy.

Re: Air Belgium in 2018

Cebu as a destination may not be a bad idea at all. You'd be amazed at how many Filipino nationals there are in Belgium.

Yes, but they fly with Thai Airways with special conditions.

Thai Airways launches LIVE TV on board.

It was already working on the flight tg935 BRU-BKK 26 May. I was watching the CL finale. BTW, a very good flight in a very comfortable economy seat. Airbus A350 is top!

Re: Air Belgium: a rebirth?

The A340 comming from Finnair had the configuration C45W40Y172=257 already. So, nothing is changed, only the seatcovers.
