I have just looked the 2020 summer network, for SN, i can't see Luanda and Freetwon. SN will also end service to Angola and Sierra Lone, after ended service to Conakry and Ouagadougou ? Montreal and Wahsington services are also canceled ? I've never understood the Luanda situation. Luanda seems to ...

Swiss and Austrian are reconfiguring B777's into temporary freighters by removing part of the passenger seats, to operate cargo flights. I guess this is a rather easy modification that can generate extra revenue as the aircraft are still costing money, even when they are stored at an airport, becaus...

TF-AMN B744 is about to land right now as ZF321 from Cairo...

Why is there so much cargo traffic between Ostend and Cairo?
Egyptair also has an almost daily flight..What do those planes transport?

Ok, people, I came to this forum to try to get some information about one of my greatest hobbies, aviation and the airline business... What I read above is enough for me now though... This is no information anymore. Although I understand that some of you are working in the aviation business, and tha...

It looks like more and more airlines are operating cargo only flights with passenger planes (KLM, Swiss, Emirates), some even after removing the seats (Air Canada). Would this be an option for Brussels Airlines? I always heard that demand for cargo on the African routes was high. Could these operati...

Why did SFU go first?
It was the youngest of the 3 remaining A330-200's.
But I guess it had the highest number of flight hours and cycles?

Ok, thanks for the info!

This morning FR24 showed KLM 747 PH-BFC landing in KJK at 8:15 am local, and departing about an hour later.
Is this correct?
Any info about this?
I didn't know that a 747 could take off from KJK.
Any pictures of the aircraft on the ground?

For the rest, I don't know if it's against BAC policy to take and share pictures from the tarmac? I would be highly surprised if this were the case. Except maybe for pictures of military buildings, planes and installations, I'm not aware of a law forbidding the use of pictures of commercial planes ...

If FR24 is correct, then EK 181 made a missed approach at BRU on 16/2 during the storm, and immediately diverted to ZRH (without making a new trial to land). Is this a normal procedure? Why divert to Zurich? Was there no alternative closer to BRU? Only 90 minutes later, the plane returned to BRU. Re...

Or will they give OO-SFH a Star Alliance livery?

I guess if they intented to repaint OO-SFH, it would also have been done in AMM?
Or are the planes (re)painted at a different location?

Any plans to give OO-SFH a new livery? or is it going to fly on like that?

OO-SFH is currently flying from HKG to AMM for cabin retrofit. It's the last one (7th) of the current A330 refleet program.

Is it also painted in the modified Brussels Airlines colours with the white belly, like OO-SFF?
How long does the cabin retrofit usually take?

We flew economy class with El Al, and it was by far the best medium-haul flight I've ever had. There was plenty of legroom, every single seat got an audio system with headset so you could listen to the flims that were played on the overhead screens or to up to 15 different radio stations. We got a ...

Is SN still flying to TLV? Security doesn't seem too guaranteed... Yes, SN still flies to TLV, even mostly twice a day... (although the second flight is a "night flight", leaving Brussels at 9.30 pm and arriving in TLV at around 2 am...) I flew to TLV last month, and was surprised to see that secur...

I was contacted by Niky Terzakis, CEO of Air Belgium.

Interesting to see that Mr. Terzakis reads this forum... Or at least has an assistant informing him about it...
Good work, luchtzak!!

It seems the problems with the A333's are mostly happening with OO-SFE, -SFF and SFG, so the newer and most recently introduced ex-SQ or ex-CX aircraft.
Is this a coincidence?
I thought the newer aircraft would reduce the operational difficulties...
