Re: Diversions from around the globe (medical, technical, ...) 2022

SN3841(OO-TCH) turned back to BRU while over the France/Spain border. Now back en route to RAK. Cause of the incident? I asked Kim Daenen, head of communication department of Brussels Airlines. Here is her answer: During flight SN3841 there was an indication in the cockpit that the voice and data r...

What happened to OO-SNF?
Seems it was stuck in TFS for two days on January 25th and 26th?
Now on its return leg to BRU.

Re: Anomalies in BRU-ANR-CRL-LGG-OST in 2022

This morning, OO-TMY, flying TB1073, was circling for about half an hour above OST at around14:00 h, tried to land twice and finally diverted to Brussels.
Two hours later, it returned to OST, and went on to AGP with about 3 hours delay.
Was this because of fog in OST?

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

The scenes around belt 7 and 8 (where the offices of the handlers are) were horrible: literally hundreds of bags were laying around on the ground next to the belts. Most bags were transfer bags who clearly missed their connection at BRU. They were just laying there. Arriving pax were walking around...

I suppose this flight is a cargo flight?
But it is a passenger aircraft?
So, only cargo in the belly?
Why not using the regular A330 cargo's then?

Re: Anomalies in BRU-ANR-CRL-LGG-OST in 2020

I thought V1 was the speed at which there is no other option than take off?
Sounds quite a risky decision to still try to stop after V1...
But, I'm not a pilot, so just my (maybe wrong) thoughts...
