Is the bmi lounge still open? I think bmi only operates flights to EDI from BRU now, correct?

And East Midlands, Leeds/Bradford.

British Airways (BA) needs a Far Eastern partner if it is to have continuing global pretensions and has now, according to reports, made overtures to destitute Japan Air Lines (JAL) about possible Asia-Europe collaboration. If JAL (or whatever remains of it) were to ally itself with Delta (Skyteam),...

Sydney, 06 January 2010 In a world first for low cost airlines, Jetstar and AirAsia announced today they would form a new alliance that would reduce costs, pool expertise and ultimately result in cheaper fares for both carriers. The alliance brings together the Asia Pacific's two leading low cost, l...

The Japanese government reportedly is looking at a plan under which JAL would abandon all its international routes and become a domestic carrier. Its international routes would be taken over by ANA. http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-world/japan-airlines-may-stop-international-flights-report-20091...

It's more a problem of server resource, but it prooves they are amateurs indeed

Would you say that Amsterdam Airport are amateurs as well then? Their site also offered reduced functionality over the last few days due to heavy visitor numbers.

LGW is now closed for de-icing of the runway. And BA has cancelled all domestic and European flights scheduled to leave from LHR after 1900 hrs. London City and Luton also closed.

Interesting interview with Marcel Buelens in De Standaard today. Buelens, who was sacked as CEO of Charleroi airport earlier this year, says he is talking with Macquarie, the owners of Brussels Airport. About the planned low-cost terminal in Brussels, he says that it is planned at the wrong place. T...

Same here. No miles for Brussels Airlines Amex since the transfer to M&M. I had membership through Lufthansa, so that is the account I use now.

All the financial problems in Dubai made me wonder what the financial situation of Emirates actually is. I know there have been complaints from other airlines (Qantas e.g.) about the lack of a level playing field when Emirates developed its flights into Australia. Does anybody know any figures?

I find it impossible to manage existing bookings on this website. Gaining access to your own booking is a great success, because half the time I fail to do so. Adding a Miles and More number proved to be completely impossible. Very poor compared to many other airlines. I recommend Qantas in this res...

Sydney, 11 November 2009 Qantas today unveiled plans to overhaul its domestic airport check-in which will halve check-in times for customers at CityFlyer ports across Australia.

No idea what it was doing, it came in with Brazilian Air Force callsign, then taxied over to the Abelag apron.

The Brazilian president was on an official visit to Belgium.

Not too fast Acid-Drop. BRU is still number 1 as cargo airport in Belgium. There is already for months a problem with the exact cargo figures. 25.000 - 30.000 ton of cargo is not registered in the official cargo figures. They are going to give very soon the exact cargo figures, retroactive. Isn't t...

Belga news agency reports that VLM/Cityjet is abandoning its recently introduced Antwerp-Frankfurt service. Service had already been scaled back during the summer months, but the route is now being suspended completely. The airline remains committed to its London and Manchester services from Antwerp.

All I know it was an aircraft that could carry 33 passengers. Hence, the press couldn't travel with the team. Press didn't travel with the team to Rome either.

The team indeed flew from Wevelgem on Tuesday. It also flew from Wevelgem to Belorussia where Gent played a few weeks ago. So not a typo from the journalist.

Codesharing on services to Entebbe and Libreville Lufthansa and Brussels are now offering codeshare flights on selected long-haul routes as part of their agreement to expand their cooperation and open up their networks to each other's passengers. The first jointly operated long-haul services are Br...

Qantas has announced it will increase its A380 services to both London and Los Angeles from 6 August 2009. Group Executive Qantas Airlines Commercial, Mr Rob Gurney said the airline would take delivery of three new aircraft before the end of the year. "Our fourth A380 arrives at the end of July...

Brussels Airlines pilots to strike from Thursday April 30 until further notice, Belga has just reported.

Qantas today announced that, due to a rapid and significant deterioration of trading conditions in the past few weeks it is revising its 2008/2009 full year profit before tax (PBT)outlook downwards from around $500 million to between $100 million and $200 million. The profit forecast range is subjec...
