thx for the link
still i believe airbus would have been in worse shape without the A380

just like the SLS was for mercedes, the new i8 for BMW,... airbus had great profit of the A380 project aside from the direct A380 model sales. the only real error they made imo was to go with the idea that a A388 wouldn't be big enough and the whole design needed to support an easy stretch up to the...

doesn't mean much! in your way of thinking a bugatti veyron is a complete disaster then for the VAG group.

why?

If you make a mistake out there, it's jail time, a lot of dead people on your mind, etc... So if you carry that kind of liabilities as part of your job, you should at least be rewarded as decently as possible instead of being paid the same salary that you can get working at Deloitte, where the grea...

the wind direction is the most important factor when talking about noise from take-off and taxi
still, the airport is there and will stay there!
if you live close to a vulcano you also know there's a chance you'll get covered in vulcano dust some day

lets ground all aircraft, close all rail & highways, shut down the industry and power plants... aaaah no more noise or pollution! but then they will start to whine and cry they have no electricity, luxury products, can't see the world,...

even with chokes placed this could happen. i remember we had one at BRU that jumped over its chokes because of heavy winds years ago. I can not imagine that hapening when there are chokes placed at each wheel bogie. Unless a huricane would hit the airport. idd only one of the front wheels and one o...

he's right no? nobody is forced to work for FR

the sound of modern aircraft isn't that disturbing anyway. atleast not to prevent you from sleeping.
people complaining should be forced to move away from the airport, shut up or be put to sleep permanently

the reason why BRU is so expensive is because split shifts are needed due to peak and ghost town moments but the unions are against this and go on strike every time they hear the words "split shift"...

you people always make stories based on some "overall net number"
you should compare operational numbers, it might be they improve their operational level but see a decrease in subsidies

aren't they already doing that by going more "premium"? at BRU and BCN for example.

legend says FR is going to dubble their BRU flights in the near future...
i hope they add some eastern europe destinations

If they'll strike I think FR will switch very quickly to aviapartner ;) aviapartner might be bankrupt in a few weeks... and JAF is looking to switch back to swissport. I used to work for Swissport for 3 months and I am happy not to work any longer for them. I call it "social dumping". Spl...

i like the city of dubai! best place in the world for car lovers and i had good flights with EK in the past. atleast not under the level you will find on LH, UA, SN, ...

air travel a privilege and not a right!
now i don't understand why they can't just change the tax rules for belgian based airlines to support them instead of this sort of hidden subsidies via BRU

how low can FR go? the airline with the most subsidies is going to cry because the belgian airlines get a few million euro's from our gov.

as far as i know they just lower the regular belgian tax rate for the belgian airlines to that of ireland which results in those returning euro's. if the EU will deny this they will be forced to start leveling those fields in all of the EU
