It's becoming more and more obvious that the SAA Business Rescue Practitioners have joined the South African government (owner SAA) in their dirt play "how to scr€w SAA's staff and creditors". On Wednesday, the BRP's have given the pilots' union a 48-hour notice of a lock-out. Before Frida...

There we go again. As if Covid-19 hasn't hurt aviation, the unions have given a strike notice. "It's the last solution", the unions say (cfr HLN.be).

Apparently low visability at AMS. It seems the Garuda was the only one to be scared away by visibility, as all other flights at the time landed without any issues at AMS... From the AMS spotters: " ...Uitwijker (wegens mist neem ik aan)... Currently a visibility of 200m only... PH-GWS FA7X div...

Apparently low visability at AMS.

Last week, KLM announced a second daily flight from Amsterdam (AMS) to Curaçao (CUR), also with a 777. That country is regarded in the Netherlands as Dutch Overseas Territory, and as such leisure travel for Dutch citizens is allowed (with code yellow). Touroperators registered a lot of bookings for ...

No news on the matter, that's why it is not included.

Marcel de Nooijer, CEO Transavia, told the Dutch travel media that the startup at BRU, due for March 2021, is cancelled. Main reason: due to corona, there will be possibilities for Transavia to grow at AMS.

Dutch consumers report that Ryanair refund their Covid-19-cancelled-flights by sending a bank check. When the passengers go to their bank to collect it, the bank charges € 35 costs. https://radar.avrotros.nl/forum/overig-juridisch-financieel-f93/ryanair-stuurt-3-cheques-die-ik-niet-kan-innen-t195480...
