It’s always easy to say behind a computer screen at home, without knowing anything else than media information…

Not that easy when the screen turns blue…

Some always have some sort of a blue screen, I guess

I was not aware of the recent investments in the Linate airport (thanks for info!), these will surely push the closure further back in time. Even so, excuse me for sticking to my point: Linate is a short-haul airport, and short-haul air travel in Europe is on its way out. Haha :lol: There is quite ...

Almost 48 hours delay for the 170 passengers from Friday's TB-3581 Palermo-Brussels because their aircraft (OO-TMZ B737 MAX-8) is stuck in Naples). https://www.flightradar24.com/data/flights/tb3581 And adding to misery, TUI's handling agent at Palermo Airport is not doing what he must do = assist t...

I'm not a specialist but it looks crazy to me that they don't have 2 or 3 spare engines...? Even when there is no shortage, wide-body engines are too expensive for small airlines to keep a spare or two just in case. You can buy a few used A320s for the cost of a new Trent 700. But anyway you need e...

Overkill from Norwegian but not for Vueling, Transavia, SN, TUI, Corendon & co?
They have bases in Spain too, so why not?

Some "food for thought" , This trend is becoming increasingly common among Belgian Francophone customers. Feedback is reaching travel agencies, including in the African market... The article fails to point out the real problem: language skills of Francophone candidates for the position of...

I will tell you. The total foreign investments, in Flanders alone, for 2023 was 5 billion euro and created in the same year extra 4.596 jobs and this for 265 projects. Both figures are much higher then what is SN, TUI etc worth. It created even more jobs. 2022 was a record year with 6.540 created j...

Same for Vueling and Transavia. When they see the huge demand in Belgium to fly to the Mediterranean, they will do.

Think international, it brings so much more. Don't blame those carriers, blame the Belgian labor costs.

"It brings so much more".

What exactly, and to who?

Fun fact: SN will add flights on some destinations served.....by Vueling...from Brussels Alicante, Bilbao, Malaga and Valencia will get more flights. Only flights to Barcelona will be reduced. Of course! They have to fight against competition or it's a lost battle in advance... This will not bring ...

Nothing to do with it. But if the own airline, and it's even not a Belgian airline but a German one 😉, cannot do it, don't sit in the corner and cry. Business is business and if there are others who can fill the gap bcs there is a huge demand, why not? Why refuse them? Free market. BTW, Virgin Expr...

So far, Vueling plans to increase winter ops by 30% ⚠ May vary depending on weeks Alicante : 5 ► 7 Barcelona : 24 ► 25 Bilbao : 3 Malaga : 1 ► 4 Sevilla : 2 Valencia : 2 ► 7 W23 = 37.weekㅤㅤㅤS24 = 53ㅤㅤㅤW24 = 48 Very good to see Vueling doing good. It was a pity that they closed their base after Ryan...

An article based on a Facebook post as the only source, just saying… The source is not Facebook. The source is the Airline Pilots Guild of Sri Lanka. A post on Facebook nevertheless! The statement made by the Guild is clearly wrong, as the captain didn’t deny boarding, he refused to downgrade one p...

Also dolphins that the Faroe Islands are accused of massacring? (I know, dolphins are not fish)

What does this have to do with LATAM flying from South America to BRU?

DELTA KLM AF has over 35 destination in USA and DN. With sometimes 2 or 3 flights a day. Also UK is primary market, as Scandinavia and Poland. AMS and CDG are huge Hubs with many African destinations. Thanks to genius CS and his sergeants SN stands there in its underwear. UA would already have done...

Dense fog. I understand the density of fog but why is UA 999 diverted when just behind it DL140 lands...the airport has the same equipment for both planes...the two planes have different equipment? The only two flights that had to hold and divert are 78s. EBBR 20240509T0550.png Equipment / crew cer...

Let's see things pragmatically - the business model fo the airline follows the customer demand. You can catch up some seasonality via maintenance, but not if peaks/lows are extreme. Thus, there are two options : - you design your own business model so that you have part time employees working mainl...

Reliance on wet leases as a strategy concerns me not a little. This is not a strategy shared by the other (so-called) full-service carriers Brussels wants to compete with, and for a reason: pretty hard to maintain consistent hard/soft product standards. If wet leases are not strategically deployed,...

Have a look on trustpilot.

I personally always avoid booking through third party websites, it’s always a mess if there is any problem with your booking, or should you require assistance for any reason.
