Never never? I don't agree with that. Some airlines, like Brussels Airlines, have a company policy to tell the passengers what's going on, even if that has expensive consequences like having to pay the indemnity as per EU rule 261/2004. You mean they would admit both pilots felt asleep instead of m...

For those living southeast of Brussels:
LUX-JFK with BA via LHR in July and August for 385€ return. (around 500-600€ for other US destinations), a bargain!

SN3187 (OO-SSM) flew normally and landed on schedule after the incident at 22:39, just about the time I took off How did they do that then? Another handler? SN 3187 was an inbound flight to Rome, which left BRU shortly before the NIKI incident. When they arrived at FCO the airport was open again, s...

Altitude was clearly limited by traffic as you can see in the same picture.

The only problem with the 787 is the tight schedule. As soon as a little thing goes wrong, eg weather, airport delays, unscheduled maintenance, it takes days to catch up for the delay. Compare it with a doctor who has an appointmentt every 15 min, when he is called away during an hour for something ...

I just bought a BRU-FCO day return ticket on RYR for 2*17.99€. What's the purpose of such a sale? Try to find new customers? Obviously I wouldn't have gone to Rome if I hadn't found such a low price. Which means that SN is right in not trying to match such fares. Market share, and new customers ind...

Strike on Monday in Belgium means a revenue loss for Brussels Airlines of "at least 3 million euros". (Joost Freys in HLN) I read yesterday that they claim they already lost 1.5 million on Monday 8 December...that's a total of 4.5 million Euro for strikes they don't have anything to do wi...

A profit warning for 2016.

If I would have been the captain, I would have offloaded Mrs Cho.

I don't understand why they didn't let you walk to the terminal in BRU. I don't believe in the bad will against RYR: sometimes there are plenty of flights arriving at that late evening hour. Probably low visibility operations in progress. Walking is not allowed during LVP, don't ask my why. Airport...

Jan, the surcharge is only for those boarding or getting off the train at the airport, not for those travelling through the tunnel. Lately there are quite a lot of checks in the station to catch those who buy a ticket to another destination but get off at the airport. I think it is good news for KLM...

Even if the picture is zoomed in, the relationship between the reference length and the aircraft size is maintained as this is particular to the distance from which it was taken.. That was exactly my remark: if you look at the aircraft it is way too big in relation to the fields below. The relation...

I think the scale is not correct. The aircraft looks way too big in relation to the earth.

So everybody goes now, already for a while, via departing where you can pick up family, friends. This creates a traffic jam on the way to the "kiss and fly" park as 75% of the drop off spaces are occupied by people waiting to pick up arriving passengers. Cars dropping off people are stopp...

Anyway, back to on topic: why are those who know everything about aviation so poor in their general knowledge about ebola? Passenger- my knowledge of ebola is very limited, but I am probably one of the most experienced aviators on this forum and I am not impressed by your knowledge of aviation skil...

I know, which is why I've said I will be pleased when it is finally implemented, so the annomality is over. As said: whether it's legal or not, it's no longer at its place in today's highly interconnected world as literally millions of people are working for foreign companies now, so just pay where...

But this conviction is not about cabin crew and cockpit crew: this conviction is about French locals working full day on French territory: ground staff, administration, sales. Many of them never worked one single day outside France, but yet they had an Irish labour contract. Reasons: the Irish soci...

Like I said ... ONLY in france. They need to protect their nearly bankrupt legacy carrier off course You also said ONLY Ryanair, which is not true, it is all all airlines using the same technique. Not to protect AF as they have been convicted as well, but to protect the employee. it took the EU mor...

Im nor even going to waste my breath on this one. All I am saying is that this legal framework is being used by airlines and the shipping industry all over the world to employ border workers. There have been many precedents, also in Belgium for example and FR has won every single one of them, provi...

Sn flies a lot less to their normal destinations in July and August, so they have extra capacity available.
It reduces the available summer leave for crew however and F/O´s will have to be careful with HQ callsigns.
