Re: 2nd incident in days with new Belgian Air Force "One"

I think we just found the belgian successor of our admirable OO-TUC ! ;) So will again our troops being transported b...

Re: BAF A330 in the grass

I hope 'normal' citizens can fly on a special day with this beautiful airbus 330. (for 'luchtzak' fans ) Any chance? Don't think so, you could win a flight with the BAF Airshows but these where mostly Embraer. So , no chance my thoughts. But special for you Shanti our Crembo introduced 'voluntuary ...

Re: Misleading ads SN ??

Hi, (1) the 737-400 is usually not 100% full, so dividing the fuel costs by 164 does not work Fuel surcharge revenue: 64EUR x 164 PAX x 50% average load factor = 5248 EUR So,loadfactor of 50 ! If less,same result we're paying maybe not to much but serious too much for kerosine 'tax'. 2) airlines ten...

Re: BRU winter 09-10: latest news, routes, airlines

or some weird reason, LCC seem to be able to attract enough pax even on the weirdest of routes and with the weirdest of schedules, as if people don't mind flying to places they don't really want to go to, at times they don't need to go there at all, for as long as it is cheap to do so! And now... I...
