You're right, landed a short while ago.
Saw it on FR24 this morning without indicated destination but it was AUH indeed.

Re: Reopening Brussels Airport after the 22/03/2016 terror attacks

Again a false and wrong statement. It is not Brussels Airport. The parking towers belongs to Interparking and Interparking is earning. So if you have complaints, please call or write to Interparking. Indeed and it seems Interparking is falling behind for quite some time now. Week after week on P1 y...

Yes VOR 07L, aligning initially on BUB then a visual to 07L at about 4DME, is HJ only.
After sunset landing on 07L is/used to be direct.

My question is : why landing on 07R

Thanks,

Re: The one and only topic on which runway in use @EBBR

Currently (ATIS India, 18:00z) landing on RWY 07 RIGHT with take off on 07L.

Easterly winds used to dictate landing on left and TO on right, why the current config?
Any reason to make a VOR approach? Cavok tonight.

Re: Lufthansa buys the remaining 55% of Brussels Airlines

.... Passenger airport taxes at BRU are too high, compared to other possible low cost hubs. I don't know how the handling costs, parking fees etc. at BRU compare to other airports. . True BRU was never meant to be an LCC base and as such the charges and fees are higher than a typical LCC spot. But ...

I'm really hoping for the A350. Also marketing-wise it would be great: just look a the amount of (free) publicity and 'hype' these new planes generate for the airlines they fly for. Priceless.

Re: The one and only topic on which runway in use @EBBR

Just to complete the above, Stage 3 starts this evening with little change from Stage 2 though.

Must have been challenging for the heavies to take off from 25R with reduced TORA these last days.
