Re: Interview met Michael O'Leary in De Standaard
Wat stiptheid betreft scoort Ryanair beter dan SN, zonder twijfel. Op vlak van comfort en proffesionalisme scoort SN beter, daar ben ik het mee eens. Stiptheid kun je bereiken met kleine trucjes! Pak een normale vliegduur van 70 minuten, zet 90 minuten op jouw uurooster (kan toch aangezien dat jij ...

Re: Interview met Michael O'Leary in De Standaard
FR mikt op mensen die vroeger niet vlogen maar dit nu wel doen doordat ze zo spotgoedkoop zijn; de weinige zakenpassagiers die ze weten te verleiden zijn niets meer dan mensen die een KMO runnen en die zelf hun agenda bepalen....Dit heet VFR verkeer in het jargon.

Re: future of BMI, SN to Heathrow
I suppose that you mean Humberside when you say Hull as a KLM destination. To reach Hull, you still have to cross the mighty Humber estuary. Just a detail , not to ennoy you. Humberside is a tiny miny little airport. But it is very important since the merger of British steel and Hoogovens in the gr...

I thought they operated the 744 combi's only for a short while as combi's, and that they were flying around as full pax aircraft for quite some time now?NCB wrote:Indeed, reconfiguring a B744M to full pax only as a B744/A380 back-up is too expensive.

He is not a President like Obama in the USA, he is just the president of the meeting of the 27 heads of state of the EU members. Big difference imho.

Re: Belgian Government: 1 A330 will replace the A310's
Why did they return to the 'Belgian Air Force' titles iso. the 'Belgian Defence' titles?
BAF looks better imho, but I thought Belgian Defence was now the official name of the air component of the Belgian army?

Re: First Boeing 747-8 Freighter Leaves Factory
How is that a cool c/s ? It's just boring white with a blue tail and a line across the fuselage.
If only they hadn't fucked up with both the 787 and 748, then the original dreaminer livery would still be used maybe, and that is a cool livery!

Re: Double AOG for QF A380
Just guessing here, but could it be possible that they subbed the A380 with a 747 that was due to leave later, and the 120 pax mentioned in the article were left behind because the 747 was full? Just guessing here, but 120 pax on an A380 is a really low load, and the 120 pax seem just about right fo...

Re: Infrastructure of Brussels Airport
The future of aviation is with the LCC, like it or not. And long haul LCC will soon be with us. Long Haul LCC is a mith that does not exist. All the traditional LCC methods do not work or become irrelivant on long haul (fast turn-around, no service, etc.). Even Michael O'Leary from FR has said that...

Re: First VLM F-50 repainted...
I almost feel weird saying this, but that would look far better with the AF tail on it. Why aren't they being a bit more creative with the brand of a high-end regional airline?
