No Sir. Please don't write things that you cannot prove.

... and even before. The flight was continuing to Madrid, final destination. In the other direction it served both Peking (or Beijing as they say now...) and Shanghai.

<t>In an interview to La Libre Belgique today, the Director General of Liège Airport Luc Partoune says he is discussing with the cargo airlines that want to leave Zaventem because they do not feel welcome there anymore. <br/> <br/> Liège can soon offer a longer runway enabling all Boeing 747s to lan...

Maybe Karl (ILS25L) himself can tell us where he got the information from?

There is also a pic on PP.net: http://www.planepictures.net/show.cgi?231035

Why should HBA leave Brussels? That is about the only long-haul destination they can fly to. And their weekly flight (doubled in summer) makes good business apparently.

Great news! Thanks, Flying-Belgian

The worst flight I had was aboard a Beechcraft from White Plains, NY, to Montreal Mirabel in the 80s. The plane was on time, no problem, but encountered heavy turbulence and storm weather. This smallplane was shaken as a leave and I became sick, the only time in 45 years flying! The worst incident w...

The A380 looks massive indeed. But wasn't that also the first impression of people who saw the B747 for the first time?

Hi Thomas, welcome to Luchtzak.

Thanks for the link to your interesting website.

I think part of the problem with the Chatbox is that anyone can use it without being logged into the Luchtzak site, these weirdos who had been in had just homed in on the site to use the chatbox, they weren't registered members. At least with the original chatbox you had to be a logged on Luchtzak ...

Biman's management seems to be even worse than Swissair's !!!

Who would want to buy F28s anyway ?

Your link to the airport doesn't work (temporarily?).

Where in hell is Austin Straubel 'international' airport? And which international destinations does it serve?

Happy birthday Yachtie. Keep trying, and you'll get as old as I am

P.S. Thanks, bigjulie, for reminding us all these birthdays!

Just out of curiosity, who much is the cost of one hour in a simulator?

Some airlines offer them in their FF programme. At LH Miles & More, it costs 70,000 miles, as much as a trip to the US!

<t>Starting with the winter timetable, effective October 31, 2004, SWISS will be restructuring the route Zurich - Dubai - Muscat/Karachi as follows: <br/> - Dubai will continue to enjoy daily service, but with a new regular schedule. <br/> - The extension from Dubai to Muscat will be increased to 5 ...
