For this one, I agree with you Chris. It is a dream likely to come through

..even if there are belgians playing in both teams

Sorry, fftopic:

Welcome to Luchtzak, dear ex-colleague.

I agree. I have flown on the Crossair one (DUS-GVA) five or six years ago. If I remember correctly, it is the fastest commercial turboprop, with speeds almost equivalent to a jet.

It is interesting to see that Scot Airways, in codeshare with Flybe, uses the Dornier 328-100 on the route from LCY to EDI.

That means that the Dornier is also certified for LCY.

The topic is in this thread and there is a message from SN30952 that says: Bob from Sint Pieters Leeuw points out the following: He is still in possession of one such authentic scale models of a Sabena Concorde in original livery of that period. Can Bob from Sint-Pieters-Leeuw please identify himsel...

Bert Anciaux gave an interview to La Libre Belgique today (see here ). Our great aviation specialist claims that his dispersion plan is safer than the current scheme, that the opponents are the nimby people who will get more flights above their heads (that means most of the population of the Brussel...

I just checked the OAG: it announces an Avro ARJ100 on both GVA and EDI. This is much more comfortable than Cityflyer's BAe146 with 6 seats abreast!

Three arrivals from Glasgow were recorded this morning:

21/10 std 10:25 AMM6274 arr 11:46 (Air 2000, B752)
21/10 std 10:30 XLA7294 arr 10:38 (Excel Airways, B738)
21/10 std 11:35 TCX 637 arr 11:41 (Thomas Cook UK, A320)

What aircraft wiill BA use for the new routes at LCY? The same BAe146 as for other routes?

A college student who told authorities he placed box cutters and other banned items aboard two airliners to test security was charged Monday with taking a dangerous weapon aboard an aircraft and was released without bail. The charge against Heatwole, a junior at Guilford College in Greensboro, N.C.,...

Do you mean that TUI/SLR is getting to be a low cost airline ? SLR remains a charter airline, that sells seats to TUI. TUI (JetAir) resells these seats to its customers in two ways: either as packages (complete wit hotels, transfers, etc.) or as flights only. The law of supply and demand applies fo...

It's not the banks that killed Aero Lloyd, but bad management. The bank only tried to avert wider losses.

Thanks, Ben. I voted for nr. 2, 3 and 4. I liked the Interflug colours. But I got back an error message: The following recipient(s) could not be reached: 'wings@herpa.de' on 21/10/2003 09:52 None of your e-mail accounts could send to this recipient. Is the email address correct?

That Anderlecht will be the winner is only my concern if KV Mechelen climbs to first division again. :offtopic: Starting with minus 9 points, KV Mechelen is more likely to be relegated to 4th division than to climb to 2nd (not first!!!) :offtopic: Anyway, Scottish football fans have a very good rep...

Thanks, Chris. Have you noticed the Irish registration? (again!)

Pity that the questionnaire does not allow for multiple replies. When I visit a town in foreign country, I know already in which hotel I will stay: that is often imposed. But I like to know two things: 1) where I can have a good meal, and 2) which are the curiosities that must be seen, time allowing.

How can they that easily switch from Avro to A319 ? That's good aircraft capacity management: take one A319 away from a destination where its larger capacity is not needed and have it make two rotations to Strasbourg. Meanwhile, the ARJ100 will make that other destination instead of the A319. Furth...
