Couldn't agree more: if you can't practise it, don't preach it!

For those who were asking positive action: Continuous Descent Ops at BRU as of 26JUN.

Hi Regi, Nice vision on the future, but I'm afraid that as long as aviation has some inconveniences, some people Will feel compelled to complain, but so what? Of it's not the noise, it will be the emitions, or the danger of overflying aircraft. Some people simply have the urge to complain about anyt...

Regi, please stop pretending you are the only one with a positieve attitude. I am thinking of Belgian airlines investing in aircraft such as e190's and b787's which have a very low noise footprint, entire governments dedicated to spreading the nuissance, airports implementing night curfews in Total ...

No, I'm rather the person who would like to discuss based on facts and have some general idea about the location in order to measure objective facts such as frequency of occurence and noise levels in dB's...it'sall too easy to blame a sleeping disorder on an airport 21km away. I have the exact Same ...

Hi Stij, I'm not saying that people from that region tend to complain. I'm simply replying to Regi who says his brother bought a house about 21km from brussels airport and that his children have sleeping dissorder resulting from stress induced by overflying aircraft. It's strange (and a shame) thoug...

Well,

On the condition that the before mentioned distances are correct, they are talking about the Heist op den Berg, Aarschot, Averbode area...strange to see people there complaining about aircraft noise...says more about their tolerance then about the effective noise levels.

Hard to believe that overflying aircraft at 21km (11NM) from the RWY threshold prohibit your brothers family to have a conversation. 11NM is exactly the IF of RWY 25R and thus the point where they are expected to be aligned with the extended runway centerline after decending from 3.000ft (coming fro...

This is an airport. The Int. airport of the capital city of Belgium, that happens to host thousands of Int. companies, the EU, NATO and more. add the millions who live in the area.We all agree that the city needs an airport. This airport has been in place since 1958. How many of those complaining o...

“I know that people require freedom but I think this is too excessive,” he said 1) I think as a board member at Heathrow he has the interests of Heathrow in mind and not "national interests" under which he tries to sell is ideas 2) Freedom and civil rights are the fundamental cornerstones...

Off course that is the question...it is each year!

At 500m€ positive result, 90% of next years' fuel needs already hedged and knowing that the augmentation of the costs is the result of a strategic choice to move operations partly to primary airports, I wouldn't start to panic just yet. And rest assured, they will not - as you call it - sit idle. IM...

I suggest she stops breathing, because in doing so she generates CO²!

What is a damp-lease? Aircraft + flight crew only?

First of all thanks for the nice report Jacob330! Secondly, in an attempt to objectify this discussioin on lost luggage a little. This is what the European Commission mentions on her website: > If your luggage is lost, damaged or delayed, you may be entitled to compensation from the airline of up to...

Can someone enlighten me on what this new European law really is? I still live under the impression that Europe does not issue laws, but that states are still souvereign and enforce European guidelines by translating them in national legislation. But then again, I'm just your average Joe, so I would...

That can be, but standing on the sideline, this is what we read (article of 2013): Ryanair fined for avoided social security payments and union bashing Also available on Financial Times if you have a subscription. And here is what RPG has to say about it. But then again, I'm not in a good position t...

Fair point, if it is a decision that is formally taken with your investor. However, it is my experience that established belgian companies - certainly those incumbents who historically operated in a de facto monopoly situation - are very soft when it comes to financials. It is not ok to content ones...

Indeed Romax. If you benchmark and trendwatch well across industries, you'll be able to recognise a threat before it is actually there and already have your response up and running. Internet threatens letter mail but created a parcel niche which is now growing into a full blown market of which we ha...

I know, the only point I want to make is that it is never unfair to go to court. They will most probably rule that RYR operates in respect of European law and that will be the end of it...nothing unfair about that, just plain competition
