Hewa Bora had last Sunday (14/11) 148 departing pax, not so bad I think. SNBA had 169 departing pax on their flight to FIH and LAD. That's 317 pax for both flights combined. 169 departing (revenue and non revenue) pax for SN out of 264 seats on their A333 = 64% load factor. One might perhaps expect...

I'm not sure whether the changes in cargo operations have already been analysed on this site. :?: http://www.biac.be/cargo_tt/index.cfm?lang=en Apparently during the winter season SQC will operate 13 weekly flights (USA-)BRU-SIN and 3 weekly flights SIN-BRU(-SIN). I believe BKK to be a new destinati...

> West African Link ... intended to fly from Banjul to ... Brussels I believe SN is already operating 3 weekly flights to Banjul with A333. Is there demand for additional capacity between Belgium and Gambia? In the past various African carriers have had a rather hard time to make BRU a succesfull op...

Hello Frederic and Bottie, Thanks for appreciating my 'opstelleke'. :wink: For all the interesting contributions that I've been reading from others, it's perhaps desirable for me to return something as well from time to time. > please don't tell me that the marvellous views you had in front > of tha...

Hi, I was able to spend a few moments at BRU this afternoon, together with my 3,5 year old daughter. Her eyesight is much better than mine and furthermore she screams from the top of her lungs as soon as she sees something moving on the airport. So nothing at BRU goes unnoticed to me, as long as my ...

Jan_olieslagers, thank you for the clear answer. Today I noticed another 'low' one above BRU. For a moment I thought again that this aircraft might be engaged in some unusual approach procedure to RWY25L, however the unknown 747 kept its altitude and heading, probably en route to LUX. The picture be...

> EVA is planning on having a 747FRT into BRU for a Beaujolais-charter Did Belgian airports receive such Beaujolais charters before? How does it make practical / economical sense to drive a dozen of heavy trucks -loaded with wine- from those southern vineyards all the way up to BRU, rather than send...

I'm not a regular spotter at BRU these days. However a few weeks ago I noticed a -to me- remarkable manoeuvre, namely that of a 747 passing over BRU at a rather unusual low altitude. No big deal for sure. There are zillions of planes passing over BRU everyday. However to me this 747 seemed to be so ...

- During the summer months there have been major maintenance works taking place on the BRU run- and taxiways. It was stated that at a certain stage of the works, there might be a possibility of having (visual) 07L landings. Did this actually happen? Probably not. - What is the nature of the Kalitta ...

On the last picture, the OSTCARGO apron appears to be (almost) equally busy as the BRUCARGO one.

A few days ago, I believe teletekst reported about an MK flight from OST to BRU!
I suppose that was an exceptional, rather than a regular scheduled flight.

When is SV fully coming back to BRU?

Thanks

In what year did the satellite terminal become operational? 1972?

Hopefully photographer 'Mick Bajcar' has more of these gems buried in his drawers.

About the aircraft seen sunday afternoon: Maybe
this was a normal flight.

Sunday afternoon a Windjet A320 was parked in front of Hangar 40.
An hour later or so I spotted I-LINB taking off on RWY 25R.
It was probably the same aircraft.

I spotted a WINDJET.IT departure on Sunday afternoon.
It was I-LINB.

The Coca-cola tower operations will move to the new tower during the 3rd week of november.

What are Coca-cola tower operations?

Thanks
