Turboprops make very less noise than jets!!!! And no they need to use turboprops for those routes in my opinion because they are much less expensive and also carry less passengers these are good options for those tiny routes. That's also incorrect. Unless you compare a Q400 with a 747-200, you are ...

I have to agree here that a few turboprops, much cheaper to operate than big jets Not really. That's what lots of people who don't know what they are talking about think, but it's mostly incorrect. There is a reason why turboprops are disappearing, in Europe at least. There are not disappearing but...

The message was posted after the return to Brussels and before the second departure.

So yes, this message explains the delay for the new departure.
Not anything close to the reason why they returned.

But that's not an argument if there is a market they need to rent more planes...obviously!!!!

So obvious, I really wonder why SN never thought about that

Confirms my point; no ambition, happy to be an underdog. How sad for our national airline. Let us give everything to our competitors.. You'll probably never accept the fact that Brussels Airlines is based in Belgium. A tiny small country surrounded by major hubs, such as LHR/AMS/CDG/FRA. Should SN ...

United Airlines flight UA973 from Brussels to Chicago O'Hare (Boeing 787-10 reg. N16008) made a U-turn just after passing over London and returned to Brussels " because we need additional time to assist customers on this flight " (says United). Strange justification: did someone forget hi...

TUIfly Belgium summer 2024 selected Algeria service consolidation TUIfly Belgium is adjusting service to Algeria in summer 2024, which includes 1 weekly Brussels – Oran – Algiers – Brussels triangle routing, operating on Mondays with 737-800 aircraft. The triangle routing operates from 01 April 202...

EASA is a guiding line That's why I asked what BRU airport is using. EASA, the European Aviation Safety Agency is probably not reliable for Belgian politics ;) DL is still flying with the B767 bcs they don't have enough new planes to use them to BRU as for them is not a main destination which AMS a...

"Duh...the huge cost of buying modern aircraft to start with..." Yeah! Right! So what makes you think Albawings can't do its maths and has no chance due to high fees in BRU (still waiting for numbers though)? Their B734 probably costs them nothing. Noise levels according to EASA: B737-400:...

You are taking it very simple but in practice it's not. Hereunder how each aircraft is calculated. So, as you make it simple for only a B734, it's not in practice The landing and take-off charges are determined by the following factors: I. - the unit tariff II. - the maximum take-off weight (MTOW) ...

Seems like Albania’s Albawings will open a base in Pristina and fly 2x to Brussels Which Brussels...With ageing 734 will be very expensive in BRU! A LCC with old planes and with high fees for BRU bcs its an aged plane. And they will start within 2 weeks. It's obvious that this will fail. BTW, nothi...

Perhaps BBL should read this: https://luchtvaartnieuws.nl/nieuws/categorie/3/airports/onderzoek-bijdrage-luchtvaart-aan-luchtvervuiling-blijkt-nihil?fbclid=IwAR1ZN1HMNsoRUYUwMDOBqHIlHExJaGNylP7VXNBzK2XwLcMC74_uuQzJf8Q The argument that another source pollutes more as an excuse for inaction is only ...

And here we go... BBL (Bond Beter Leefmilieu) strongly opposes the permit for Brussels Airport, they criticise the lack of ambition of BAC to evolve towards a more ecologicaly friendly operation, and not caring about people living around the airport. They lament about the rising nitrogen exaust due...

ACMI market is really strong, there is high demand, prices are significantly increasing.
They surely have a future in that segment.

The discount is probably a lucky coincidence. It is typical of airlines introducing a new type to keep them close to home. Probably still going through crew familiarization training (cabin, cockpit, and ground) and you can get more crew doing the job each day when you operate short hops as opposed ...

Used to a left hand turn when taking off from 25R?


H.A.

The routing is unusual, not the departure itself.
Possibly for airspace restrictions (-> avoiding a CTOT).

2022, 2023 and 2024 had and will have the biggest growth. 2022 had almost 9 million pax more, 2023 had 4 million pax more and 2024 will be around the same. 2025 and 2026 will have each 1.4 million pax more. But again, this is the traffic forecast based on the current reservations and increasing tra...
