Stupid Spohr came to ask 290 000 000 euros to our gouvernment, and he came with a private jet. Really This is one of the jets the training academy of Lufthansa is using, thus part of the hours flight by pilot trainees. By the way there are 5 of them in the fleet. How frustrated can you be ? Yeh a f...

But coming back to facts: - it is known that Lufthansa is the driving force towards the 321XLR development - however, no plane is flying yet - and if Brussels should become some, it has to prove first that it can handle the cost of becoming them, as they would be brand new How is LH the driving for...

When the night stop is done with an A319, as there are 2 pilot and 3 ccm on board, you need to book 10 rooms, 5 for the crew arriving late and 5 for the crew departing early, so 12 when it's operated on A320. So it's cheaper to operate an A319 over an A320. As OS is taking them out of their fleet, ...

Regarding to those two letters: Lufthansa has to defend their position, Belgium has to defend theirs. Simple as that. If the prime minister would write a letter "we demand xxxx jobs to be cut" or "we demand a smaller company", that would be a weak position to start from in furthe...

Why not follow Italy's example ... Everyone always looks at 'the Swiss dream' - ... What about comparing SN to TAP? Similar fleet, similar home-market, SN being focused on Africa compared to TAP's focus on South America,... Both member of Star Alliance. But TAP isn't member of a big group. If they ...

And if the ACMI-contract of SN to deliver services to EW in DUS is profitable for SN: why not...

As businesses are allowed to open waay before visiting family and friends is allowed, maybe business trips are allowed before leisure travelling is allowed?
And the decision of the safety council is for Belgians, there was no word on opening the borders (and thus allowing flights) for foreigners.

Oh, you mean the perception of the general public? Yeh, a jet goes "woosh" and a turboprop goes "broem".

But people flying direct from BRU to BLL or BRS in stead of transferring and loosing time won't care about that

Why would they retire their 319-fleet (7x) and keep their 320 (28x) and 321-fleet? If demand is low, it's better to have a smaller airplane, no?

On another note: as they only have one F50, that plane needs maintenance too. Does anybody know if they're using this downtime to do the checks they need to do every so many hours/cycles? Air Antwerp told me once they have a solution, but they wouldn't disclose what. I guess it is another F-50 from...

I never understood the point of the Antwerp - London City route. flying to London Cit ok it have a real value but what about Antwerp. To go from to the city center of Anwterp it's just 32 minutes with the train. How do you want succeed from this airport. I think as well it should be a route for Bru...

I have the impression that Air Belgium did relatively more repatration flights compared to SN. Correct, or a wrong feeling? Air Belgium fly to 2 little island twice weekly half empty due to weight restriction. I would really like to see Air Belgium survive but I really don't see how. Same for Air An...

Latest days you can observe 2 phenomenons in our airspace on FR24: very intensive daily aerial survey, new misson for google ? And very much helicopter VFR flights, peculiar with Robinson helicopters, looks as Robinson owners have been invited to perform medical flights ? Rigarding the aerial surve...

Lufthansa Group makes significant changes : 6 Airbus A380, 9 A340, 21 A320 and 5 Boeing 747 to be retired. Germanwings to close. Further restructuring at Austrian & Brussels. https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/lufthansa-group/coronavirus-lufthansa-group-to-retire-6-airbus-a380-9-a340-21-a320-an...

I can agree SN is important. I'm not saying SN shouldn't be saved. But Thalys and NMBS/SNCF also have a heavily reduced schedule, limited revenue and high (personnel) costs. Those might ask for financial support too, and as a Euro can only be spent once, train companies have the advantage over plane...

Brussels airlines is not a belgian airlines, they can get their help from germany. Now they could argue help is needed for belgian employees, fair, but all sectors are suffering... and just for example, there 2x more dentists than brussels airlines employees Name me one belgian airline then? https:...

It's always dangerous: look at what it can do to metal or even your haircut

I can understand your reasoning, but letting SN sink down would mean a huge blow to Brussels Airport as well, still Belgiums second economical pool. I've seen this argument a few times, but how much does that economical activity rely on SN? Just a thought: Cargo-operations are a big part of the eco...
