PS looking at the requests for BRU next summer (they aren't public domain yet until after the IATA slot conference sorry ) we MAY have 2 or 3 newcomers, Is this the slot conference that is being held in Boston? I guess it will finish in a few days. How is the atmosphere around the BRU table during ...

Themole, thanks for the input. When you have 38 aircraft at your disposal, you must be able to do better. What is the average aircraft use per day at SN, versus that of a relevant competitor? Just look at for instance Ryanair, whose whole concept is based on trial/error operations. I don't know Ryan...

Hewa Bora had last Sunday (14/11) 148 departing pax, not so bad I think. SNBA had 169 departing pax on their flight to FIH and LAD. That's 317 pax for both flights combined. 169 departing (revenue and non revenue) pax for SN out of 264 seats on their A333 = 64% load factor. One might perhaps expect...

I'm not sure whether the changes in cargo operations have already been analysed on this site. :?: http://www.biac.be/cargo_tt/index.cfm?lang=en Apparently during the winter season SQC will operate 13 weekly flights (USA-)BRU-SIN and 3 weekly flights SIN-BRU(-SIN). I believe BKK to be a new destinati...

Is there demand for additional capacity between Belgium and Gambia? In the past various African carriers have had a rather hard time to make BRU a succesfull op...

Illustrated Observations BRU 24/10/2004
Hi, I was able to spend a few moments at BRU this afternoon, together with my 3,5 year old daughter. Her eyesight is much better than mine and furthermore she screams from the top of her lungs as soon as she sees something moving on the airport. So nothing at BRU goes unnoticed to me, as long as my ...

Jan_olieslagers, thank you for the clear answer. Today I noticed another 'low' one above BRU. For a moment I thought again that this aircraft might be engaged in some unusual approach procedure to RWY25L, however the unknown 747 kept its altitude and heading, probably en route to LUX. The picture be...

What's the lowest allowed altitude for air traffic over BRU?
I'm not a regular spotter at BRU these days. However a few weeks ago I noticed a -to me- remarkable manoeuvre, namely that of a 747 passing over BRU at a rather unusual low altitude. No big deal for sure. There are zillions of planes passing over BRU everyday. However to me this 747 seemed to be so ...

- During the summer months there have been major maintenance works taking place on the BRU run- and taxiways. It was stated that at a certain stage of the works, there might be a possibility of having (visual) 07L landings. Did this actually happen? Probably not. - What is the nature of the Kalitta ...
