Could it be that I just saw an Azerbaijan government jet parked at Abelag?

New Doha Airport : open ?

I just booked a ticket online to Bangkok ex-BRU with Qatar Airways. Leaving July 13th and returning July 29th. The online booking form (on QR's website) mentions "Terminal 2" for my connecting flights in Doha. Would this mean that the new Hamad International Airport will be finally in use ...

Re: Has Jetairfly suspended Phuket and Bangkok ?

Meanwhile, the TG flights seem to be doing really well : TG 934 this morning had a 100% LF in economy (dixit my wife who was on the flight).

Re: American back in BRU.

However, the merger will see American return to Belgium (it cancelled its New York JFK flights on 6 November 2012) and see new operations at both Tel Aviv and Amsterdam, neither of which it currently serves, but US Airways does fly both daily from Philadelphia. Not 100% clear imo : US already flies...
