Of course they shoud have the right to wear a hijab. But passengers have the right to regret that, after so many years when it was forbidden, they feel the desire, the need, or maybe the social obligation to wear it. What passenger would "regret" that flight attendants have the right to a...

When I went to Egypt with Egyptair three years ago, stewardesses were not allowed to wear the Islamic veil called hijab. Now, some EgyptAir stewardesses who campaigned to wear the Muslim headscarf have begun donning the hijab for the first time since the national carrier was founded in 1932. The fi...

Direct LFW-BRU as SN1276 without the stop over in ACC.

Problem said to have been a battery and replacement to be delivered this evening by SN277.

H.A.

So, no spare battery available in Lomé!?

Yes, a long time ago, almost forty-five years, and very covert. Aircraft were not the main mission, but I photographed some interesting aircraft types. https://legendarymilavia.blogspot.com/2020/03/rare-plaaf-aircraft-types-ilyushin-il.html Regards, Mike Fisher. These are surprising and exceptional...

Looks like TUI would like to create a "horse racecourse" in the Antwerp area.

Air Belgium plane OO-LAC is now flying from Paris to Dakar with flight number SZN404.
Does someone have details about these flghts?

Edit: apparently these are Air Senegal flight numbers equivalent to HC404.

And with 2 daily A320 from CDG to BRU sometimes even 3, how many Parisian travelling through BRU to connect to Africa... you can see it the other way around the only factor is prices and a flight "BRU"-CDG-FIH will often be cheaper than a direct BRU-FIH and the other way around. Even if I...

Indeed, not a glorious day for SN: Only 5 l/h flights today! SFH just left to MAN (for maintenance?) SFB still in MAN (for maintenance?) SFF AOG at Yaounde; SFJ having a day off at BRU. There is only JFK wich is cancelled because of AOG in NSI, there were no other flight planned as the season of th...

SFH just left to MAN (for maintenance?)
SFB still in MAN (for maintenance?)
SFF AOG at Yaounde;
SFJ having a day off at BRU.

Does anyone know what is SFB doing in Manchester?

BTW, SFG is apparently AOG at Yaoundé.

Still a long way to go for WiFi on board ...

No USB, no WiFi !! In the 21st century!

And last but not least look at the destinations SN is flying : to what extend technical problems are not caused by the reality that in sub Saharan Africa you might not have the local skills, spare parts available and generally the infrastructure for state of the art aircraft? In those markets often...

And we do not speak about african destinations cancelled too ! Dakar yesterday for example ! Terrific...1/9 = 12% cancelled flights ! And I do not speak about BOD, Billund, Zurich...thank's too Citymachin...That's not serious ! I agree with your cmments. However, for the record, Dakar was not cance...

It may not be the youngest machine, but for the cabin that probably hardly matters. Going by airfleets.net it was reactivated for Lufthansa (in the new colour scheme) in April 2022 after being stored in June 2021. I would be surprised if it didn’t receive at least a refreshed cabin in that time fra...

Indeed OO-SFP comes back. This is at the moment the D-AIKG at Lufthansa. There will be 6 extra flight. Monday: BRU-NBO-BRU Tuesday: spare aircraft Wednesday: BRU-KGL-NBO-BRU Thursday: BRU-NBO-BRU Friday: BRU-NBO-BRU Saturday: BRU-NBO-BRU Sunday: BRU-KGL-NBO-BRU Small correction; tuesday isn't reall...

.... SN flew to Mumbai (then called Bombay) in the seventies with B727s and B707s on the southern route to Manilla, Tokyo and some other Far East destinations; maybe also with DC-10 s. Affirm. I once flew back from Bangkok, then out of Don Mueang as it was around 87-88 in another century. The fligh...

You're right. I had completely forgotten about these.

But SN was already flying to India under the embrella of LH. I don't think so. A few years back, Jet Airways had daily flights (with excellent Business Class, btw) between BRU and Delhi and Mumbai with continuation from BRU to US and/or Toronto. But they were discontinued several years ago. SN flew...

Strangely, the crash ot Prigojin's flight hasn't been mentioned here. It looks like it would be worth looking at the path that plane followed, under instructions from the Control Tower. It seems to have brought it coincidently right above the bettery of missiles that alledgely shot the plane.
