The railway track straight to the airport is already in project and in the NMBS/SNCB budget for 2008-2012 according to members.
15 aircraft means that many many jobs will be created!!
Great news for Belgium!!

The article on crash-aerien.com Dakar (Sénégal) - Un avion de la compagnie aérienne belge Brussels Airlines a provoqué la vive colère de ses passagers lorsque le vol a du être annulé sur l'aéroport international de Dakar (Sénégal) suite à un problème technique qui n'a pu être résolu. L'avion, un Air...

Gonna be some costly training then...
Unless they fill the aircraft...but that would surprise me again

I would rather take too much tan too little fuel...
certainly for long haul flights.
But we all know the Dutch, they think otherwise
Lucky those winds were not a bit stronger, otherwise they might have been swimming around somewhere in the Altlantic about now.

I forgot to mention the many stops a train has to make...

Not quite sure about the trains being the next most efficient means of transportation after the bicycle. How many trains do really travel fully loaded, or at least with a load factor of 50%?Not many, except for rush hours between Antwerp and Brussels. A guy working at the NMBS told me once that stop...

The full article, De Antwerpenaar issued on 1st April 2007 Duurzaam vliegen? Het kan Maak van uw stoel een groene stoel Ook als u op reis gaat kan u rekening houden met het milieu. Duurzaam toerisme wil zeggen dat u tijdens uw reis respect hebt voor mens, dier en natuur. En dit begint reeds bij het ...

I just read on DE ANTWERPENAAR that airplanes are told to be the less ecological mean of transport, after the car.
I though thought that even the A380 was told to be more economical than a car?

Sabena is dead. Brussels Airlines is born and has a different strategy, a more low-cost like structure. And that s the best for now and the future, because the future is in the low-cost. And they (the managers) know that. About this discussion: What about taking it straight between the 2 and making ...

On the other hand, you can not approve the 40mins turnaround for only Ex-SN staff, while Ex-VEX staff will continue serving the 30 mins. That would be unjustified and discriminating... I agree on the image destroying thing, although I don t think many people around the globe have even heard about th...

I agree on recent disorder being serious issues, but some people start saying that unions lead to Sabena's bankruptcy. Well I might be wrong but I thought it was Swissair that gave Sabena a ride to hell. Okay unions have contributed to this happening, but that wasn t the main cause!! Unions are impo...

Cool!!!
So we gonna need a 3rd pedal to switch gears or is it gonna be an automated system?
Who says gears says problems.
The less factors, the better!!
Very interesting though from an ecological point of view!!

Oh come on you can t kill Alitalia employees any further: I ve once been to a job interview at Alitalia' s in BRU. During the interview I told the chief of operations and recruitments at BRU that he wasn t worth the job he was doing 'cause he didn t bother reading my motivation letter well before my...

UGLY bah 8)

You should definetly call that baby-boy "Dreamliner".
Just kidding, congrats to you.
That kid is gonna land on earth holding the throttle tightly on his/her right hand and the stick on his/her left. Wish him/her a good landing

Although it s one of the emptiest international airports in Europe, you should agree that it s also one of the most expensive as well as the slowest (in regard to turn-around times). For these reasons, not that many carriers are interested. Perhaps on a long run it might interest some long-haul carr...

From Antwerp, SN operates an hourly bus to Brussels Airport starting from 7 AM. I though would rather take a train 'cause you never know what could happen on the road. Seen that the Central station is nearly completed, isn t it time to start a direct connection?The rails are there, just need to do i...

Yeah you re definetely right about that. I just want to keep being optimistic. I think the Belgian aviation mentality is way to conservative. The flemish are typically always complaining about anything that changes, certainly if it is about noise or airplanes. The Welsh all are some kind of happy wh...
