the jets in question departed at 10:39 am local time today using longest runway after repairs were done..planes flew to amman jordan. 22 minutes later israeli jets bombed the repaired runway again..but there are no jets remaining at BEY.. I hope that the terminal will remain untouched

eurostar

I think that many pax prefer eurostar to flights from belgium to london..it is much quicker if end destination is central London. BA works a lot on transfer passengers and business pax for the many companies located not too far away from heathrow. VLM seems to be doing well to lcy. Similar situation...

asian tourists

What was mentioned about Japanese tourists is true. Compact and fast as they only enjoy up to 10 day holidays per year (similar to US).

welcome to the forum, great to hear from people everywhere. Little remark about your campaign though. keep in mind that avaition is an industry where money is made or lost. The reason you have direct flights to only 11 european cities is probably because there are not enough passengers for the 12th ...
