Re: Brussels Airport is a true cash machine for its owners

Yes, tolipanebas, you are right: it is time that the cake be divided more favourbly among all stakeholders: owners, airlines, passengers, etc. And if I may add to that; this should not be limited to just BRU, but also be applicable for CRL and LGG. Let the regional airports finally start paying for...

Re: New Gates at the end of the A pier?

Hi Atco EBBR, I agree, but what happens to all those fluids now? It must be better to have them locally used then dispersed? Kind regards, Stij I know that at M there is such a system, for the other de-icing platform (stand 322?), I'm not sure but I assume it's there. I think it is necessary to get...

And what would be the problem with creating 2 dedicated platforms? One at W41 for runways 25R and 20 and one at the start of runway 07R for runways 07R and 02?
Probably just the cost... You need to install a dedicated system to collect the (toxic) de-icing fluids.

Re: New Gates at the end of the A pier?

Firstly, making a dedicated de-icing platform around the W41 area would be stupid. Reason 1: Not all flights have to pass there, only the heavy's pass via W41. The rest is B1 But sending every flight that needs de-icing (be it heavy or medium) to W41 is no problem at all. Btw W41 is not dedicated t...

Re: New Gates at the end of the A pier?

What is the advantage of having them park overthere? Making place for other flights, same principal as with UA, HU and TG at the B-pier. Allright, but isn't there enough room for that elsewhere, eg stands 310-318? Aren't they going to block a taxiway? I remember planes de-ice overthere in winter, s...
