As mentioned they have a regular full cargo passenger flight for quite some time now. But they always came in under the cover off darkness until last month. Now they are using a more passenger friendly shedule. Who knows, maybe they are looking to start a regular passenger service in the (near) futu...

It will be not a new runway . The existing RWY 11-29 will receive a complete restoration and renovation. Expected timeframe works: between 19 september 2022 till 25 oktober 2022. Potatoes, potatos, the result will be a new surface including everything under and on it. So a new runway on the old loc...

Operating a door on an aircraft is limited up until a certain windspeed. Once open it can withstand a higher speed but since the windspeed was higher than the speed limit on an open door there was no safe moment to open the doors for quite some time. Once the windspeed decreased, the big job of hand...

It seems that shipping company MSC wants to invest between 1.2 and 1.5 billion euros in ITA while LH has said that for now it is mainly interested in a commercial partnership, suggesting that any investment in the capital, if any, will be very modest. Gianluigi Aponte, owner of MSC, an entrepreneur...

Could it be they are going to opperate them in the same way as they do for CMA-CGM. There is a logistics company that opened a warehouse at BRU and also bought two B747-8F, rumours say they are not placing them at the opperator that was mentioned in their press-release.

The migrants themselves might not have heard of it, but they get help from local people, payed for or not.

If you go 'behind the scenes' a vast majority of staff is french speaking. Really? To settle the issue, some official figures: The airport employs workers from all provinces of the country, the centre of gravity being in the provinces of Flemish Brabant (40%) and Antwerp (17%), followed by the Brus...

Too much fog at Brussels? Seems very plausible EBBR 090750Z VRB01KT 0200 R25L/0250N R25R/0375N R01/0325N FG BKN001 07/06 Q1029 BECMG 0500 FG BKN003 It seems they are diverting to a more northerly airport, possibly AMS. Sorry for question...How to explain if there is fog that flight UA 999 is divert...

"Harass-the-passengers-strike"! Is that what they think will solve their problems? They should be ashamed! There would be NO excuse for such behavior, whatever their dispute is with their management! The clever thing to do would be to try and bring passengers on their side. How can they d...

OO-SSN operating BRU-MXP as SN3215 seems to have had a problem just after take-off this morning. Very unusual engine sound when passing overhead. Went around maintaining about 2300ft for an immediate return. Landed back 12 minutes later on RWY25R. Vacated the RWY with Fire 022 in support. H.A. Bird...

We can assume they know they have very little chance to remain unnoticed by a bored "politician"

They can also switch destination during rotation, for example, BRU - New York - LGG.

Probably I'm being cynical... Aunty Lufty's beancounters figured out Aunty Lufti ordered to many planes given the crisis... You got it, but the result is Brussels Airlines gets new planes, and a bigger chance of being competitive by their lower fuel burn and higher earning potential. #thinkpossitve

No typo, they are expected soon with a 747-400.

Where the plane goes has more to do with the company that is handling the flight and available space on apron 9. With a big emphasis on DHL-priority since they moved to the cargo side.

HiFly is flying for SpiceJet (India) for the transportation of the covid-19 vaccines. So it may be for a longer period.

Not surprising since they invested in Air Belgium.

There is only 1 direct comparison for the A350 and that is the B777. But indeed there is some opportunity for Airbus to make its way into the civilian heavy freighter market. The B747 fleet is aging fast and production is stopped. So there will be a market opening up for them. Although I would rathe...

For virgin is just this Sunday is a special flight. LHR to BRU and BRU to LAX.

Samuel,

what aircraft?

The A350 should make the distance with ease.

No they don't, but you cannot remove it like you remove a trolley from the galley. It's part of the equipement of the aircraft. There are certification etc. So even if you can "easily" remove it, I'm not sure that administratively you do it so easily. I would not see why it would be a pro...

Busy times ahead for Sabena technics.
