Re: VLM Airlines news 2016

Perhaps we should dare now ask the question: is there really a demand of business people to fly out of ANR? How many times and years did we all hear that same old story that there is a potential because of the big Antwerp port and diamond industry? I admit, i also believed that story. But if there w...

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016

Even if the company goes bankrupt, i don't inderstand that someone is going to invest in the company and continue operations.

What did Richard Branson once said on the question how to become a millionaire??

Indeed nothing new, old news! Just ignore them. By ignoring them you reduce them from "something" to "nothing".

I think that ebaw did a great job the last weeks and it is showing what it is capable of. Keep up the good job (y).

Are the ticket prices lower then the ones of VLM use to be?
Perhaps that's a reason for the success??

Re: 2016 Antwerp airport (ANR/EBAW) latest news

Well, having no toilet can be a pain. I speak from experience. In my current aicraft we fly up to 4 hours without having a toilet on board. Very fun if you have some problems in your bowels. I never took so much imodium in my life. It is a MUST especially if you fly commercially with pax. And for th...

Re: Interview of CEO Gustin: Brussels Airlines renamed Eurowings? ...and other topics

I was always very sceptical with the share deal of "lufthi" in SN. I work a lot in Germany and already knew how these German management would think. "We are german and you are just the stupid little belgian". They dont adapt to others but you have to adapt to them. Look to the ge...

Re: Owner of airport

Well i am talking about an airline constructing, owning and running its own airport. Yes i know it sounds very unrealistic. But then again, entrepreneurship is free in Europe. And so is a company free to build its own premises, even if these own premises is an own airport. Just like a truck company ...

Yes the maintenance cost will be high but pax dont have to pay paxfees, or at least lower fees, the company can create their big hub and perhaps other adv...

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016

So if i understand well, they sold some aircraft and then leasing them back????
But why are they leasing them back? Especially now since they can not fill them completely. It is all costing money like hell!

Why not leasing, let's say 1 airbus 318 or 1 Bombardier Cs, instead of leasing 2 or 3 F50???

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016

I agree. The perception is still that it is an airline for business people. Perhaps they should start to change their name to reposition themselves, as a start to change their policy.

Let's hope that the new management comes ups with a good strategy. It would be pitty to lose that company.

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016

I agree. Everything they do seem to fail. Perhaps they have to change from business flight to touristic flights like jetairfly, ofcourse with other aicraft.

To be honest: i think end of 2017 the company will not there anymore. Pitty. :(
