Re: Three Ryanair "emergency" landings in Valencia on same d

Re: Three Ryanair "emergency" landings in Valencia on same d
I dont know what the problem was, but what the hell is wrong with returning back to the airport with a technical problem? Would you have preferred the airplane to continue? I agree with you: there is nothing wrong with a return. But then, why is that not valid for Brussels Airlines, and why are the...

Re: Three Ryanair "emergency" landings in Valencia on same d
As can by read in your very own post, Passenger, you have no idea what the difference between a precautionary landing and an emergency landing is. Difference? An emergency landing doens't even exist at Ryanair: it is allways a precautionary landing. But then, just tell us - third request - what the...

Tell us what happened to FR5465 yesterday (Charleroi-Madrid): the aircraft that made a U-turn near Paris and came back to CRL. Let me guess: it was just a precaution landing, there was just a minor issue, it was no safety problem at all, pax were never in danger but Ryanair takes no risks regarding ...

The false rumours in the press could have been avoided if Liège Airport would have given correct information to journalists immediately when it happened .

Re: Possible scam with take-off weight at Ryanair
This is the thing: The airplanes are in the register as 66.990kg and very occasionally get changed to 69.990 or 74.990 in real time after wihich the MTOW is reduced again to 66.990kg. So the MTOW is SOMETIMES higher then 66.990 in the register for a few hours, but then changed again. Now read this ...

Re: 07/12/2012 Snow predictions at BRU
All of you should join us for a day when it is snowing at BRU airport. Then you'd understand why Bru Air cancelled the flights (cause a decent amount of snow was forecasted). Sometimes it takes 20' to de-ice 1 a/c. You are nr 34 in de-icing sequence..., any idea when we will be able to start then? ...

It looks like a big joke to me ... the cargo is dying in BRU for many reasons, some wanted by the gov, some unwanted but nethertheless very real. There are a lot (actually, too many) cheaper and better alternative in a 300km radius. plus, their idea of bio-logistics already exists ... 90 km away : ...
