the new terminal will change many aspects.
Cat III is also planed, so charleroi will have everything of an international airport soon.

yeah i know, i was thinking about them when i first talked about it

i think that, like the new terminal in liege and in many others places, they build it to be easily extendable.

spot 1 i guess

as high as you can
next to the WW fortification

I hope so !

But dont forget this number is still ridiculous, it's still a lot less than the 3rd biggest airport in london ))

I dont know what's exactly the power of the guy. He's the president, not exactly the person who decide everything. But still ...

It's maybe a belgian disease, BRU could do better too

interesting, but in french and dutch, sorry Manque de réactivité commerciale à Bierset La compagnie indienne Connexus Air entamera début 2007 une liaison fret aérienne régulière entre Bierset et l'Inde. Mais l'aéroport liégeois n'offre pas beaucoup de marchandises à transporter pour le vol retour ve...

I dont understand why they couldnt extend the runway ...
There is a study to lenthen to 3200 meters.

let's build a HUGE chocolate shop in shangai guys )
we can help TNT and get rich in the same time

I also heard that the 2nd 747 will be leased. I have no news since.

What about the disaster ?
is it half full both ways or empty one way, full the other or ... ?

Thanks to give any news about the health of the company

eindhoven would make sense but ... you can notice that eindhoven have only destinations that charleroi had before ... So Charleroi is the test lab, and if it works, they can provide the same to dutch people without the need to travel 300km. But maybe i'm only half wrong and both charleroi and eindho...

no idea my source just say there is 3: 7sur7.be L'aéroport de Charleroi ouvrira un nouveau terminal fin 2007. Trois compagnies ont signifié leur intérêt pour le site de l'ancien bâtiment. TCA est l'un d'eux. TCA vole actuellement de Liège, Ostende et Bruxelles-national. Elle représente 6% des client...

It's just that the walloon are welcoming all the employment that this kind of activity creates

we dont have the big sea harbours or the car factories flanders have
that's a lot of people working

I dont understand why ryanair would need anything else than its own success to fly transatlantic.

3 companies are actually interested by the old terminal.

This is a very good news for Charleroi, becoming more and more a very credible alternative to Brussels Airport.

Another very good news for charleroi today : SNCB/NMBS planed the rail connection in the 2008-2012 budget.

Does anybody have the % of pax for every airport ?
bru, lgg and ost

Note also that the airshow is at the military air base.
The civil airport is at the other side.
There will be some bus between the 2.

Also note that most of cargo flight are during the night and during weekdays.
It's not rare to see some B747 though.

The public transportation between the main train station and the airport is quite bad indeed. That's because the airport is mainly used for cargo operations. They might have some special bus for the occasion though, the airshow is quite a big thing. In any case, remember that the main bus station of...

Wow !
