When airport taxes are only €6 per passenger compared to €28 at Brussels Airport, they have to find other sources of revenue. BRU can easily toilet cleaning in its airport taxes, CRL just cannot with their meagre taxes. And Ryanair might certainly take that as an example for introducing a similar c...

Now you have to pay at CRL to go to the toilet...
What's next... pay to breath?

I disagree with the first part, and agree completely with the second.

The only downturn of ET flights is the transit through ADD, a disorganised nightmare of an airport... ET itself is quite a nice airline with good products. My two cents... a bit of topic. I flew ET to CPT round trip last week... ET has extremely competitive prices if... you book well in advance... ...

A pretty reliable source for construction projects in Flanders is the "Omgevingsloket". https://omgevingsloketpubliek.omgeving.vlaanderen.be/?openbaaronderzoek Could be mentionned here already... I found there Sabena Aerospace would like to construct a temporary hangar... big enough for a ...

The construction works at the terminal will start very soon. The "Diamant" will disappear and will be the prolonging of the current terminal till the former Building 2 of DHL which was previously demolished. This will be a big expansion of the terminal. As said, the construction works wil...

Besides, best publicity is cheap flights! They offered dirt cheap flights to South Africa in both economy and business. Most people search and compare fares. When an airline suddenly pops up offering cheaper flights than the competition, people notice. I think that This is the best way to attract a...

I remember Sabena flying there with a Sobelair 767.

Hi,

I try to claim miles for my children and when I try to fill in the form online... one cannot select Brussels as an origin nor destination.

Has anybody else had the same experience?

Maybe another destination from BRU that could be profitable for Air Belgium is Cape Town. Especially during the winter months there's a lot of Belgians, (especially from the North) flying form BRU to CPT via AMS, FRA, LHR, IST, DXB, DOH and ADD.

What make you say that CRL is a "extremely low-cost" airport? Yes the cost structure is lower tjan BRU as it's a regional airport like LIL, OST, EIN, or LGG. But from the service it's providing, what make of it a, as you call "extremely low-cost airport" you have everything you ...

Would it still be a succes if the annual subisides / market distortion wouldn't be there?

Onboard catering with KLM is going to change: no longer "chicken, beef or pasta?", but "pasta, pesto or quinoa?" Reason: KLM says veggie is more sunstainable then meat. https://www.telegraaf.nl/financieel/1132368295/klm-vergroent-vlees-verdwijnt-van-vliegtuigmenu And cheaper...

Godspeed!!!
