BTW, this was reported in Luchtzak latest news already yesterday (7/1/04). See https://www.aviation24.be/article2716.html

That's because they don't fly to BRU.

Are they on the black list? You don't know, your travel agent doesn't know, your tour operator doesn'tknow. Your government knows, but won't tell you.

If you go back in aviation history and see how many companies lead by them went bankrupt, than i can not at all agree that this is the best proposal. I disagree. Gutelman first made TEA a big success, for many years, before it finally collapsed. Hasson built EBA on the ruins of TEA and sold it with...

<t>In spite of the unfavourable conditions, traffic at Brussels Airport continued to recover. Last year too the aviation sector had to struggle against difficult market conditions. The long build-up to the war in Iraq and the war itself had an adverse effect on air traffic, whereas the connections w...

A new submarine owned by France Telecom is on its way. It can dive to 1,100 m.

That sounds like a quick return to BRU airport after an inflight problem on the way to CPH. Apparently flight SN 2255 took off for good to CPH at 8:58 iso 6:55. But now it's flight SN 2261 etd 11:40 to Copenhagen which is cancelled. For the return glights, SN 2256 is cancelled and SN 2262 operates n...

I can only hope that Sobelair will survive. I'm afraid that it is already too late. But our best hope is that most of the staff and aircraft are taken over by the successor. Let's face it: TUI can start its own Belgian airline much faster tan expected, and at a lower cost. But they need only the pl...
