Nice Pic !

My database shows EDDI/THF has :
09R-27L 1840m. Full Christmas tree and ILS. This is the main RWY.
09L-27R 2090m. Only PAPI and REIL. Didn't know this one was closed though.

Ldg is OK but TO, even from 27R, would have implied weight limitation. Guess 600 000Lbs at max.

Very good move indeed. They goofed but at least someone there reacted in a very appropriated way. It looks though that it is more web site related than a problem with the connection to credit card confirmation. I just proceeded with my on-line production of the e-boarding pass. It failed to print :x...

Happened to me as well.

I booked BRU-BMA-BRU on Sunday and had the same rejection of my credit card. It is an AMEX with no credit limit.

I tried 3 times and gave up.

Tried again on Monday and .... it worked fine ! :?

Go figure !

Arrival of the return flight JAF502 is still announced as on schedule for 10h00 Sunday morning. If friends/relatives from passengers read this: don't expect them before Sunday 24h00...

00-LTM declares emergency at EBBR

LTM declared an emergency and landed on 25L at EBBR around 18:45LT today. Landed apparently normally and parked on 313. Anyone more info on this? Tech or Pax related? Whatever it was, the fire brigade was present in full force. Must be a reassuring feeling for those in the heat of it. Good work guys...

Time for Brussels Airlines to send his antic BAe 146s to Africa ? For as long as Africa is on the same planet as we are, I don't see how it could solve the GLOBAL problem. Btw, how many of Brussels Airlines BAe's have been produced before 1990? I thought -DJE/F/J/H were the oldest in the fleet and ...

Is it me or what? Though night VFR was not allowed in Belgium. EBKT is normally SR-SS. Open anytime but PPR against some extra fee... EBOS landing fee is 3.00 EUR/ton 0600 to 2059 and 5.00 EUR/Ton 2100 to 0559. Cheers. Fly EBKT and enjoy the new complete airfield lighting, including APP(QFU24), RTIL...

Funny but I never paid attention to this. Thanks for bringing this up Nick. :wink: I'd say that in "low cost" we have a noun and its adjective hence no dash (or better : "hyphen"). Here in defining the type of airline the noun is "airline" and the adjective is "low...

Will the plane fly mostly at a lower height above sea level? What does that do for passengers as opposed to the aircraft as a whole? Yours, It has to do with the difference between outside and inside pressure. Outside is pretty low at high altitude and pressurizing the cabin at a "normal"...
