Expected Sukhoi from Brussels airlines.

EWG1AT just diverted to LGG..
probably more to come...

OK, let's start an airline...
Ow, just a detail.. your aircraft can only depart during daytime, and only when there's no fog, snow, or heavy rain.
sounds good, no ?

And if you take off only in day light, you don't need light. Just a bit of paint. http://www.sbap.be/archivalia/sabena/pic%20048.jpg Credit : www.sbap.be And what about fog, rain etc... ? I mean putting all your business at risk considering departing only with daylight and without fog, or rain seem...

"Short term" and "extend the runway" is definitely not compatible... But if you need urgently a couple hundreds meters of runway, it can be done quickly. With the will, money and right building company, 15 days. I don't know if you're in that kind of business, but it's not just ...

Austrian regulations regarding registering and maintenance are more tolerant

On top of that, system failures are not unusual, making you 10 years older in a couple of minutes...
But, it's a great job (don't come for the money...)

You perhaps forget that each job is taxed 56,7% in belgium and that makes even more tax revenue. If you want to go deep into that, sure the salary of pilots are taxed at the highest rate. But as you might know if you know a little bit about aviation business, when talking about ground jobs, especia...

You perhaps forget that belgian owned companies also pay taxes in Belgium (and that makes a lot...)

Everybody protects its own part of the cake i guess...

Where do you have that information from ? any source ?

What do you mean by "took delivery" ?
As far as I understand, it's just an ASL aircraft in Fedex colors ? But the aircraft is still operated by ASL with a belgian crew ?

I think no opportunity can be excluded as the business plan doesn't work as expected for the time being...

There was a C-17 on approach rwy 25R around noon, I think it made a missed approach our touch and go as I saw it airborne a couple of seconds later.

A 747 in ASL colors is parked a de-icing zone with OE registration.
Regarding the others 747, we never see the emirates ones, juste one in TNT colors. Lately Cargolux and CAL have been flying for TNT.

They already have a couple of 737 under austrian registration, maybe the requirements regarding maintenance, checks and so on aren't the same...

The cause of this incident is quite obvious. which is ? Bad weather ? Decision to shoot the approach ? Pilot error on the flare ? Runway in use ? Mechanical issue ? Procedure error (i.e. crosswind limit allowed) Met systems malfunction (wrong wind indication etc...) etc... One thing about incident/...

It looks like a YAK52 departed from Cerfontaine crashed in Couvin.
Apparently only one on board, survived the crash.
