DHL UK Boeing 757-200F (G-DHKZ, built 1992) returned to land safely at Leipzig Airport (EDDP), Germany, after the main cargo door opened in soon after take-off from runway 26L. https://t.co/TJjIBsyqDX?amp=1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EuHzwAwXUAIKpqs?format=jpg&name=900x900 How can this happen?...

According to this article Air Belgium Cargo will probably operate with Airbus A330-200F aircraft!

one would almost think they read the Air Belgium thread before creating this article.

CMA owns or leases the aircraft and fills them with freight. Air Belgium puts them on their AOC and takes care of the operational side of things. This way CMA has no need to go thru the cumbersome process of acquiring their own Belgian AOC (they invested in a french airline group already) and the ad...

Mouth masks, clothes,... or any other boxed item that is not to bulky can be loaded in the cabin. They only need to make sure it can not shift during the flight.

Largest boxes I've seen loaded in a cabin were +/- 50cmx50cmx120cm. And even perishables (flowers) are loaded that way.

Yes, the flight to Freetown last week was a full-cargo flight, carrying medical equipment from "Medecin sans frontière" What I meant is "I assume it's only belly cargo". I don't think SN has any convertible A330. it only depends on if they like to take a risk on damaging the sea...

Why not? NH, VS, SK, 3U, UA,.... all fly passenger planes with cargo only to BRU and make money on it (I hope).
And even if they do not make a lot of money on it, they keep at least some crew up-to-date in regards of flying hour requirements.

And New York.

From when can we go to the USA again?

So nobody can answer this question,so why is Brussels airlines starting to fly to the US ?

There is a global effort starting for transporting vaccines,...

Can we expect a rise in airport taxes to pay for all the works going on at this airport?
Dumb question, I know...

And for freight, the 747 is still used a lot. Agreed, the 747-8I and its passenger-to-cargo converts can still keep up a few years, but what after that? Not only for routes with a lot of cargo, but also for big cargo. How would you transport an engine for an aircraft AOG if there are no planes to f...

This building is empty for already many years It looked empty, yes, but the Swissport cleaning and handling services where based there. Not that visible from the street, but very much so from the tarmac side. They installed blinds at the west side of the connector to hide the ground equipment parki...

Isn't the A-terminal closed for some time?

In a way you should be happy there are 6, this means they are more eager to handle a plane than just sitting inside waiting for their assigned plane coming in. It could also be that some of them are there to experience, first hand, the how and what the airline wants during turn-around. Hands-on expe...

The number of cargo flights, via pax planes, slowly start to decrease already this month. Also the number of full freighters. With soon the opening of the European borders and next month the external borders, it is not interesting anymore to fly those extra flights. In a couple of days it can be ag...

Now what ? Aviapartner handling all flights this summer ? Hi, no this cannot be bcs of the current license. As far as I know, there is no limit on how much % of flights a handler can handle. So why would that be impossible? As Swissport is defunct all handling agreements have been ended also. As th...

Actually select BRU staff, so people working for the airport, such as airport inspection, facility technical staff, are trained and authorised to operate the bridge. For a few flights per day, they can operate the bridge, it's not like they are swamped with work. The staff that is trained from BRU ...

And the DGLV has to allow an exemption on the normal regulation that only handlers can do these kind of operations.

that one should make it to the Canary islands

Not straight to the Canary Islands with full pax from ANR.
No way.

And fully packed "corona style" (one out of 3 seats empty)?

As mentioned before there are still a few PAX-flights operating to/from BRU; (e.g; FCO,FRA,DUB,TUN,ATH,HEL,DXB,DOH,..) Is there any info on : - 'loadfactor' on these flights during the past weeks? - any specific procedure passengers have to follow upon departure/arrival? (gov./airport and/or airlin...

But hey, the Trumpster Army around the world is yet again downplaying another stupidity of their Hero.

Yup. I still cannot understand how it is possible, but...

It would have been a solution if his believers would have tried it themselves.

Why is Qatar Cargo flying to OST? They already have extensive operations in LGG, and to a smaller extent in AMS and BRU. Nothing against OST, just trying to understand the rationale when consolidating at one of the other three airports would (I'd think) be operationally easier, especially if it is ...
