Re: Malaysia B772 AMS-KUL flight crashed near Donetsk, Ukrai

Maybe it shows that we people are all frankly the same...
... and if you find grief disgusting well than that says enough!

Re: Abnormalities in BRU-ANR-CRL-LGG-OST in 2014

I counted at least 10 TAY diversions to BRU. They were there until late morning.
Furthermore also 1 Condor and 1 Air Berlin diverted from Dusseldorf.

Busy night at Brussels!

That would not fit for me... It is the operator who needs to provide for hotac and transport frim/to. This is not compliant to EC261.

Re: Possible strike at Belgocontrol on 25 June

It's insane... launch a strike for more safety and then closing aerodromes last minute forcing operators to divert, reroute, ... into airspaces/airports they hardly know. Where's the safety in that?
