Book one and go for a big surprise!

Flights are sold out now.
Was nice to see them at OST but we can forget a restart now.

Cologne is getting extra flights and will be served daily from mid September.

Eindhoven goes from 4 weekly to 2 weekly this summer.

Flights for this summer are still bookable.

Is Eindhoven doing much better then?

BCUBE officials were at the airport today to announce their plans.
Looking at the (nearly) brandnew groundequipmentl they have, some AP(OAS) staff will be jealous...lol

Take a look:

As from 25/05, Pobeda will reduce Moscou-Oostende(Brugge) from 3 a week to 2 a week. The Thursday flight will be cancelled until 15-09. After 15/09 they will be going back to 3 flights a week. This is due to the start of the summerseason wlth seasonal flights to popular holiday resorts. So no panic,...

Is this to fill up the gap XL airways left when they closed the LILLE- Fort-de-France route?

Have I missed something?
VLM planned the OST-MAN route but they went bust.

Bcube who will bring new customers, I am told.

Will be interesting to see if Egyptair will switch to Bcube soon.
If they do then its the end of ASO as we know it.
Pax handling on such a small airport isn't profitable.
It will be up to EGIS to provide passengerhandling.

Elections on their way:

Traffic April 2019; Freight down by -24.7% compared with April 2018 Pax up by +19.6% compared with April 2018 Comment: As for the freight as usual it was mainly Egyptair who used the airport. No Kalitta nor Aerotranscargo... Thanks to Pobeda, the loss of the BCN route(-2500 pax) can't be seen in the...

A new survey!

A link(or several links) with the UK should be the main target now.

With the pending Brexit and all confusion around it, I don't think it's the right time to start new routes to/from the UK...

Yet Ryanair introduces new routes out of the UK...brexit or no brexit

The Belgian airline has 6 leased aircraft : - 1 SmartLynx Estonia A320 ESSAK - 3 SmartLynx Latvia A320 YLLCS, YLLCT, YLLCU - 2 AirExplore B737 OMGEX, OMIEX. Any idea which aircraft are supposed to be based for the summer 2019 at EBOS? Hopefully none of the above :? Very bad experiences in the past ...

Perhaps they are lucky that Mr Buelens loathe Ryanair. But he cannot prevent Ryanair from landing at OST if Michael O'Leary wants it! No but Mr O'Leary has to pay the fee that Mr Buelens want! NO Ryanair discount, so far MOL says we are in negociations. If there is no pricedrop , Ryanair won't land...

I hope that the good results with POBEDA will open the eyes of other companies.

Eurowings could bring in the German tourists but that won't be allowed by Lufthansa.

Why not leave then if its unprofitable?

Thanks to Pobeda en more cargo, AP decided to stay at EBOS. But they want more flexibility from its workers. Comment: Why a new name? The name Aviapartner is still all over the place. Seems BCUBE will start in a couple of months as a cargo handler. https://www.hln.be/regio/oostende/verlieslatende-av...

First POBEDA flight at OST(Ostend-Brughes airport) with North sea shrimps and beer from Brughes The airline is thinking of expanding from EBOS;

What if Egis steps in after March 6 when they would be able to snap up Aviapartner for a few Euro's.
Hire the staff which they want(read the cheap contracts) and operate the handling themselfs ...
