Re: Air Belgium: a rebirth?

From what I heard, AB would be interested to be based in LGG, but due to walloon airport policy (freight in LGG, pax in CRL), and perhaps pressures from Fedex/TNT to remain the sole "major" operator, there would be a stop from the region... And as CRL is not able to handle A340 (rwy length...

Re: EgyptAir A300 Cargo ignores ATC instructions and causes near collision with Air France A320 above Ghent

For information, separations used by TCAS to trigger an alert are not the same that ATC applies, (if I remember well, because TCAS works in terms of seconds of separation, not distance).

Re: EgyptAir A300 Cargo ignores ATC instructions and causes near collision with Air France A320 above Ghent/Gent/Gand

FL220 is not very high as a cruising altitude for a passenger flight. Is that common? Between Paris and Amsterdam that might be the optimal flightlevel. Flight known as "city pairs" (typically CDG-AMS) do not cruise above FL240 to avoid Eurocontrol airspace. Below FL 240 Belgocontrol is i...

Re: Air Belgium: a rebirth?

Nikki Terzakis already hired a lot of ex-TNT staff..
He sure knows about the business so...
He must have some funds because many people already work for him, and there's still no turnover.

There has been delays and airport closures almost every days for a couple of weeks, due to staff shortage, but papers didn't talk about it, so our "media-aviation-experts" neither... There is no stand-by existing for ATCO's in Belgium, and that very point is by itself a professional fault ...

You should also be considering that some managers know it's a hard time for workers to claim things, and are using it...
