Ryanair does not have a "HUB", only a base !.

And don't expect to much from a RYR base, look at chaleroi only having 3 maybe 4 aircraft.

I think Freddy Van Gaever had a bright new vision when he started VG Airlines, but Tony Gram made it go to s*** !.

Still, I think you have to admire Van Gaever for trying. Not many people in this small country would try to do the same.

Mixed feelings about AA !, Boeing 767 I didn't like so much but my last flight from LAX to LHR on a 777 was nice. The flight was not full, and I had the middle row to myself, now that is nice !.

Thank you for the comments. Delta can not compete with European competitors like Air France, Lufthansa and BA anymore on transatlantic flights. Most American carriers are lucky there is no European competition on flights from Brussels, and maybe that is why the service and quality standard is so low...

SAN / LAS on Delta and SWA.

Delta Flight BRU - ATL 21.05.2005 I arrived at Brussels airport in the morning and on time so I was the first to check in. Profiling ( ICTS ) was fast and very professional. I was surprised that a passenger behind me could not answer some questions !. I am sure he discovered how a search room looks...

Competition ? Who is going to be the franchise taker ?, Restair !. In that case there is no competition, even Pizza Hut is a Restair franchise.

Not so much time for Jet to get everything ready in Brussels !.

No information on who is going to be the handling company, BGS / Aviapartner ?

And who is going to be the security partner for the US bound flights, ICTS / Securair ( Securitas ) ?.

The biggest problem at the moment is the fact that all American flights depart from B 33 to B 40.

Is it going to be profitable for Sky shops and Restair to open ...

New BRU C-pier soon ?

The word goes around that the new BIAC management has plans for the old C - pier.

It would NOT be used the house low cost airlines, but instate for high risk flights such as British Airways, EL AL and all U.S. airlines.

Who knows more and do you think it is a good investment ?.
