Re: VLM Airlines news 2017

Oostende-Amsterdam and Antwerp-Rotterdam? What a joke! OST-AMS-OST might make some sense as an in-house feeder for their long haul flights. And ANR-RTM point-to-point would really be a joke unless they target RTM customers to go via ANR. My estimate is that RTM-ANR will not be viable even as a feed...

Re: Plane spotters asked to help reporting suspicious activity around Brussels Airport

This is certainly a smart idea although not really a new idea.

In München (MUC) this is done for many years already.
Belgian Police should get in touch with Police at MUC airport regarding their experience with Spotters as "vigilant observers".

Re: VLM Airlines news 2017

I am deeply concerned whether this venture will ever come into operation. Couldn´t help but chuckle when I saw the photo of a MRJ in relation to "Service Aircraft Center" (what a crazy grammar mistake btw.). It does not really help with their credibility by advertising through referring to...

Re: VLM Airlines news 2016

My experience tells me those managements/companies that are generally quiet and very cautious in releasing infos to the public are usually those that survive the set up process and make it into actual operations. So, I´m still optimistic VLM 2 will become operational eventually. Let´s just be patient.

Re: Repositioning of BRU operations to other airports after attacks

At LGG (and SN on a wider scale) I think they are very happy to have the "new" Terminal which can handle significantly more Passengers than the old one. Imagine this whole operation would have to be handled in the old terminal ... Only one thing makes me wonder: why are there only a few JA...

Re: 2015 Liège Airport (LGG/EBLG) latest news

It is possible to to connect via MUC to BKK but not with LH as they serve BKK ex FRA only ... MUC-BKK non-stop is served by TG only. So, usefulness will depend on whether TG will offer through fares via MUC. Timings do work out although with some waiting time in MUC both ways. LGG-MUC-BKK ~2.5hrs la...

Re: 2015 Liège Airport (LGG/EBLG) latest news

let's hope it will be fixed or it will remains unused by most people... It certainly will because listing in the CRS´s takes a while. And even if fares start to appear in CRS it does not mean that all fares will be availlable from the start. Usually the highest fares/booking classes are loaded firs...

Yep, I like Malaysia and in particular Air Asia.
They really offer good value for money - much better than Ryanair ...

Still, I find those flights to MUC somewhat odd in that they will cannibalize the BRU flights to a certain degree. And ... at LGG there´s no "regional competitor" to be driven out of the market ... :roll: LGG´s local PTP market for MUC is way too small to justify these flights. The only re...
