It is unfair, because you target the most expensive AB combination. I'm not saying that Air Belgium will be the most expensive for all flights between Belgium and Hong Kong. I was just making a comparison for a given flight on a given date, which is, in my humble opinion, never unfair from a travel...

Your comparison taking the inaugural flight is unfair. I think it depends how you look at the flight. We all know it's their inaugural flight, so OK. From a normal passenger's point of view however, it's not really unfair if I really need to take the flight on these specific dates. Best regards, Ivan

Now that Air Belgium has opened its ticket sales to HKG, I tried to do a random check of ticket fares for flights from Belgium to Hong Kong (or Shenzhen) with AB, HU and CX when leaving on 30APR18 (Air Belgium's inaugural flight) and returning on 03MAY18. Air Belgium ex CRL is the inaugural flight. ...

I tried to open the Air Belgium website but got a '504 Gateway Time-out' error message.

Air Belgium Airbus A340 OO-ABA is scheduled for BRU-AMS at 13:15 local time as flight PY3004.

Apparently for maintenance (scheduled or unscheduled). That's the reason they need Air Belgium to operate today's flight ex AMS.

Do we have any info on when Air Belgium's A340 will leave BRU for the positioning to AMS? Should be around lunchtime at the latest I presume?

Anyone who knows the meaning of "LOE"? Seems to be out of place for TUIB to give such a strange registration? I have an idea what it means. It are the initials of one of the postholders at TUI Fly Belgium. This give us OO-xyE with 'x' his first name, 'y' his last name and 'E' for 'Enginee...

Correct. Her brother is first officers at Brussels Airlines and was in the cockpit during the unveiling ceremony.

Indeed, aircraft leaving from and arriving at BRU are using RWYs 01, 07L and 07R again, as was the case few weeks ago. As a matter of fact, I was on flight FI554 KEF-BRU yesterday, and it was the very first time I landed on RWY 07L. Quite a nice experience, and a lovely view of Brussels as I was sea...

OO-ABB took off from BRU few moments ago and is now doing its touch and go training at LGG:

In the tables issued by tangolima, all times refer to Brussels Airport. The first figure is for ETA and the second one for ETD.

I'm confident Tangolima wil confirm this.

I'd like to know as well. Would be great to catch this bird with nice evening sunlight...

Grts,

A nice (and interesting) interview with Etienne Davignon in "De Standaard" (Dutch): http://www.standaard.be/cnt/dmf20180209_03349557 A similar interview today in De Tijd (Dutch): https://www.tijd.be/ondernemen/luchtvaart/ik-ben-god-niet-maar-op-een-dag-misschien-wel/9981226.html Best rega...

My lucky catch of the day:

Airbus A380-861 Emirates A6-EDL LHR-DXB passing in front of the Sun.

I want to meet Susy the pilot and Miss Belgium 2018 :D Not sure if a lot of people know who Susy the pilot is, to begin with. She's from Sweden and great ambassador for the Brussels Airlines pilot community on social media. On top of that she's honestly enough to talk about the good and bad things ...

Foreseen for Cargo Apron for now, so high likelihood for 25R.

As always, info subject to change.

That one has indeed just left HECA and appears to be on its way to EBBR.

I checked this one on FR24.If their info is correct, this bird has just left SIN as flight SV837 SIN-JED. Maybe another SV B777 coming to BRU?

Flight SN3837 operated with OO-TCH did indeed divert to BOD.
