Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Somehow TUI managed this afternoon to get the bags on carts in the departure lounge and in the plane on the tarmac...

Congratulations!

PS maybe other airlines as well but for TUI I have a testimony...

It s actually already the 4th time in 3 months...

And it has been in the news all day... so even BRU s management must be panicking now...

Re: Question about flight plane

Welcome to Aviation24 Epicolor,

I'm afraid this is unknown until the day itself, and even if it's known, it can change even at the very last time.

Good luck!

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

When I buy a flight ticket, I also get asked to rent a car and make a hotel reservation. Does that mean I should rent a car in case the bus I would take goes on strike, or make a hotel reservation in case my backpack containing my tent doesn't arrive? No, those are just related options, related to ...

Re: Anomalies in BRU-ANR-CRL-LGG-OST in 2019

I miss a long term vision by BRU management That is a general tendency today, both in business and in politics. Quick wins are the only goal. Some say there is bad influence from the so-called "social media", others blame investors who only care for immediate profit. It’s the cocktail... ...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Thank you Passenger for your explanation. I knew that I could count on you on that. @Stij, If you book a holiday, flight ticket or what ever, they always ask you if you want to buy this extra travel insurance. So this is not new but already for decades. So why it is now such a surprise and why it h...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Dear Stij, You really think that the airport is leaning backwards? The airport, together with the manufacturer, are solving the problem. The issue with those very busy months now is that a testing period is not that obvious. So it has to be done when it is calmer during the day or night. Regarding ...

So sad to see there were again giant problems at BRU on saturday. Now there is an operational problem every week or so.
