I know what you are, you left enough hints above, and I am quite familiar with the world you describe, even if over longer distances... It's never a question of knowledge but oversight. Governments should not and do not trust companies over which they have no oversight. If your employer can square t...

And now, if I quarantaine because of my company rules and come back home, I have to quarantaine again and test. So what you are saying is that Belgium should trust the Covid program of a company it has no control over, and has no way to enforce any requirement on, such as providing advance notice w...

I assume these are not all-cargo though. Why not? NH, VS, SK, 3U, UA,.... all fly passenger planes with cargo only to BRU and make money on it (I hope). And even if they do not make a lot of money on it, they keep at least some crew up-to-date in regards of flying hour requirements. UA operates an ...

Every integrator has primary and secondary hubs. Typically secondary hubs are either to handle regional traffic (shortening distance flown/driven) or to serve only the largest destinations and relieve the primary hubs - sometimes a combination of both. LGG and CGN are 150 km away from each other ! ...

Good summary with some numbers "in 2020, FedEx made up 27% of LGG's volume" https://www.cargoforwarder.eu/2021/01/24/lgg-s-diversification-strategy-may-absorb-fedex-job-axing/ But I still dont get it You need a whole network or the design falls appart no ? Keeping "a few" destin...

Aéroports de Paris (which operates CDG and Orly) owns 25% of Liège Airport. Conflict of interest in the FedEx issue? Conflict of interests how? Did the ADP board members somehow block measures that would have benefited FedEx? Did they gain confidential information about airport charges and the like...

I wonder what these integration issues FedEx is complaining about are. If they are still experiencing significant difficulties absorbing TNT into FedEx 5 years after the acquisition, I wouldn’t fault FedEx for looking for a different solution, such as moving more volume to an unaffected platform. CD...

I don't understand who takes this flights it's still forbidden to go to the USA? Not a total ban. Diplomats, air and ocean crews, dual-citizens and those citizen of one and legal resident of the other side of the Atlantic can travel. Waivers are also granted on multiple grounds, e.g. compassionate ...

In this case I suspect that the takeoff was not field length limited (25R is roughly 3600m long), rather obstacle limited and thus the V1 definition is more likely to be the second one. In that case, you can technically abort the takeoff after 'V1', yet still stop before you run out of runway. At m...

Once again there is no crew operating the out outbound flight AND the inbound flight right after. I m an insider by the way. I don't think anyone is arguing single-crew op when the plane does a same-day turn. But if you take BRU-ACC-LFW or BRU-EBB-BJM as example, with the plane on the ground for 20...

My point was that, you have days with 6 long haul flights a day (saturday's) and plenty of connecting flight, and day with one single flight. There is just a problem with the use of the fleet. The demand is low (thank you sn26567 I didn't know :roll: ) but it doesn't mean that you can't split the p...

But why only at Brussels airport? 1. Google is experimenting with an algorithm to remove moving objects from Google Maps (don't ask me why they think it is a good idea) 2. It isn't perfect and it shows even at BRU, it is inaccurate to state there are no aircraft at all, though none at the gates ind...

As for regular travellers, the article correctly points to schemes like Global Entry and the fact that the immigration lines for Americans are not that long in the US. Such a traveller will not see an added benefit in a longer connection or having to be earlier at the airport. Overall, it will be s...

The conclusion was (don't if it still applies) that pre-clearance makes sense if you don't have too many flights to the US as the amount of passngers that needs to be cleared can be so high that you've to take into account another hour as the passenger needs to eb cleared before boarding the aircra...

OO-SFG left BRU half an hour ago as SN1303 bound for ROB. There is an other SN flight en route to FIH... SN1357 OO-SFE (333) is doing 2 x Kinshasa SN1357/SN1358: on 29th June and on 1st July: AFAIK, these are cargo-only flights using passenger aircraft. Scheduled passenger service to Africa has not...

When do we expect to see an official list of destinations being dropped? There are two ways to draw such a list. Either do a profitability analysis of each destination and cut the ones deemed not viable in the short-to-mid term then make changes to the fleet; or start by setting fleet-wide financial...

Moving Africa flights to an evening bank from BRU will not work. Not for local or European traffic, and certainly not for North American connections. For local and European traffic, the move adds a day of lost productivity for business travelers. Under the current schedule, they land in the evening ...

Why is Qatar Cargo flying to OST? They already have extensive operations in LGG, and to a smaller extent in AMS and BRU. Nothing against OST, just trying to understand the rationale when consolidating at one of the other three airports would (I'd think) be operationally easier, especially if it is a...

Lebbe wishes that the State provides to money, not as a loan, but as capital to take a share in Brussels Airlines, or even better, in Lufthansa with a blocking minority. A blocking minority in Brussels Airlines for €290m maybe, but in Lufthansa, he is delusional. Even if the price was right (and it...

BA1 LCY-SNN-JFK on March 18 diverted LHR due to... low occupancy. The plane was in the air for a total of 50 minutes. Flight had reportedly only one passenger and BA decided flying him to LHR with a first-class upgrade on a LHR-JFK was a better option. Given the time it takes to travel LCY-LHR on th...
