Re: Brussels Airlines announces new short haul product
I almost never have to take out a ID card when flying SN, a small detail for me, but appreciated as it make me feel welcome on board (rather then being suspected of fraud). Nothing to do with fraud! It all depends upon the AOC under which the airline is operating. Some CAAs require identity check f...

The article you quoted says: "mainly domnestic" not "purely"Inquirer wrote:FWIW, additional reporting suggests it's going to be a purely domestic airline, so no long haul plans.
IF this goes true you will certainely see an increase of the KLM-AF presence in FIH.

Re: Brussels airlines future and financial perspective
if they offer the 69€ on MAD they will loose money. In short: My take is this new commercial strategy is it is a clever method to fill their empty seats and generate a significant additional revenue from them which will basically be all profit, whereas low cost competitors will have a hard time fig...

The new tariff structure for the low end market segment sounds very promising: it looks like they will systematically undercut their competitors on allthe lucrative possible extras they sell, to the point where passengers might start to question the validity of the competitors prices and the allege...

Re: Pilot lands his Q400 with his prosthetic left arm detach
André- you make it sound as if the poor sods arm detached from his body. In reality his arm detached from the yoke.
The man might loose his class 1 medical as a result of this mishap though.

No need to put on your glasses, airazurxtor, there's not going to be any small print like you expect: 69 euro return for the preferred seat of your own choice, period. Oh, and should you wish to add say some checked luggage to a check&go ticket after all, you can easily do so, at way cheaper ra...

Re: VIDEO: Eindhoven "bodies-flight", Ryanair didn't read NO
In which case they are dead wrong, Lysexpat, because AD closed at 1545 does not mean you can land up to 154459, it means all planes on the AD must be well parked at their final position with engines off at 154500, full stop. Two minutes taxi at Eindhoven is usually more than sufficient, so they cou...

It looks like the title of this topic is not correct dear stratofreighter! :roll: :thumbdown: They did read the notams stating the airport would close at 1545, but were not allowed to land at 1542, which lead to a rant of the Ryanair pilot. That said, how many pages could we fill by reporting people...

Re: Dobrolet suspends operations
Russia is mulling a ban on overflying its territory as a retaliation. This is very serious and could cost airlines millions of whatever currency you choose. Won't happen as Aeroflot would loose hundreds of millions a year in overflight rights. I think Dobrolet was not successful and the sanctions a...

Re: Malaysia B772 AMS-KUL flight crashed near Donetsk, Ukrai
I watched the SU-25 detection theory of the Russians but IMO it's a real shot in the dark, I don't see it. They say that a new aircraft appeared just next to the radar signature of the B777 as this one slowed down, probably after being hit. I really think that it was just the B777 desintegrating th...
