Loud bang near Brussels, scramble ? Nothing exploded on the ground, it seems. Communications with a passenger aircraft were lost, so F16s scrambled and had to fly through the sound barrier to get there as soon as possible. By the time the F16s reached the aircraft, communications were already resto...

I guess the neighbourhood won't be too happy with this massive expansion! But this design definately rules out a future third runway! Why would they need a third runway when they only use one ? Maybe so they can use two parrallel runways at the same time. Might be necessary if they expand as much a...

The aircraft is returning to it's stand at the moment.

Hi all,

Does anyone know why this SN flight to Kiruna (KRN) made such strange turns above Kiruna Airport? They flew over the airport at least three times.

Brussels Airlines A319 OO-SSD is on its way to Lourdes Tarbes, very likely for storage. The aircraft also made a test flight this morning, prior to being sent to Lourdes.

End of the long haul fleet ?

Or some of the B787's Lufthansa ordered? I can't imagine that they would just let go of their long-haul activities.

Just to know, what is the maximal range of the A321XLR with a full load, to know what are the possibilities the this type of aircraft? Airbus states 8700km meaning this aircraft can reach cities like Mexico, Bogota, Caracas, Bangkok, etc from Brussels. At full capacity, the XLR will be able to fly ...

Hi all,

The Belgian army has different types of helikopters. I am wondering which helikopters are part of the Navy, and which are part of the Air Force. I believe that some of the NH90's and all the Alouette III helikopters are part of the Navy. Can someone confirm that?

No doubt The Ombudsman Service of Brussels Airport is usually a reliable source, but this time they got their information wrong unfortunately. Sometimes in the heat of the moment things get lost in communication/translation, perhaps that's what happened here. They surely didn't get that information...

Now Air Belgium has also announced to offer code share flights from Guadeloupe and Martinique to Sint-Maarten. These flights will be operated by Air Caraïbes that flies from the two Air Belgium destinations to Sint-Maarten Grand Case l'Espérance Airport. No details are offered yet and bookings are a...

Mauritius isn't in their booking system neither. Must be uploaded yet.

https://i.imgur.com/1SqahT9.jpg This very ironic picture - and IMHO a picture that should be part of "BRU's year 2020 in review" - is Swiss' flight from ZRH today, greeted by Aviapartner, and immediately whisked to the farthest remote stand possible in BRU, even with several unoccupied ga...

In the mean time, union BBTK reports that there will be an agreement between SN and the unions very soon.

Question... Is German Airways still active then ? LGW stands for Luftfahrtgesellschaft Walter. It operated 15 Q400's for Eurowings. And LGW was merged into German Airways together with WDL Aviation. But apparently only LGW filed for bankruptcy. I guess the merger was not yet completed. Okay, didn't...

Airbus is planning to develop a successor for the highly succesful A320 family. The first prototype could be revealed as soon as 2026, with deliveries starting in 2030. Also, Airbus wants to make aircraft that are powered by hydrogen fuel and are thus completely powered by clean energy. This should ...

As someone already stated above, these airlines will probably not be seen as competetion as they are part of the Lufthansa Group.

Wow, that really makes my day
