Without the subsidies that Ryanair would get from the regional jokermen. no, you are wrong: the subsidies are mandatory the same, if any company complies with the requests(*) for obtaining the subsidies: that's the law. (so, if Jetair opens OST-AGP before FR, they will obtain the subsidies) (*) as ...

The problem with JFK is that it will require daily or near daily service which means it cannot be combined with BOS What about a triangular service BRU-BOS-JFK-BRU? Or is the US market too much different from Africa, where SN has applied this concept for many years? Perhaps BRU-BOS-JFK-BRU on some ...

I quite like b.air's Avrojet, but the problem with these aircraft is that they burn more or less 50 % more fuel than an A319 (per pax/km) and with the current cost of oil, these aircraft are expensive to operate. I'm tempted to say that the Avrojets' fuel consumption is maybe one of the main reason...

(132 seats in A319, 142 in B733 and 164 in B734). If A319's would replace the 737's that would increase their loadfactor already. If loadfactor is that low, and as a "quick win", why don't they throw out 12-18 seats from the B733 and B734? Advantages : less weight (= less fuel burn) and m...

Why not set up a (temporary) airshuttle between Southend & Lydd to Ostend Not very realistic, letting a plane fly is not like dispatching a cab to some place. You need a plane and more important a crew. Crews are bound to some serious duty time regulations etc. so after the awful weather in Eur...

There a thousands of pax blocked there, if not a hundred thousand, it's not 2 round trip that will help anything Why not set up a (temporary) airshuttle between Southend & Lydd to Ostend, like in the early sixties? (Times of Channel express,British Air Ferries,etc..) 2-3 planes could make quite...

But we do not only need a reliable airline and well maintained airplane ,but also a reliable hub/base.(FBM). What's the condition of the Lubumbashi airport t...

Dat is nog eens een Hollandermop. (het moeten niet altijd belgenmoppen zijn)
Gelukkig hebben wij daar niet te veel last van.
Dat ligt met sommige andere milieu-geïnspireerde rechterlijke uitspraken wel even anders ,denk we maar aan de boycot van de IJzeren Rijn en de uitdieping van de Schelde..

Talking about BRU-JNB-BRU ,does anyone on this forum have info on the loadfactors of the Sabena-operation when they were part of the Swissair-group? Or LF of Sobelair when they operated 3Xweek to JNB? I seem to remember that the SN LF was not too bad (+75?)although with low yields , and the SLR LF a...

Nothing spectacular this new painting. It looks like a cheap generic product! Totally not in line with the public they are aiming at.. The VLM-scheme was by far superior... Grtz

in the beginning VLM was very happy with the amount of passangers on the flights Amsterdam-Groningen-London-City Maybe, if they have the ambition,OLT could re-start flts to LCY? Would a flight Groningen-BRU-LCY not be feasible. (I know VLM had to give up BRU-LCY and EHGG-AMS-LCY,but maybe there is ...

we who travel regularly around Europe, notice that BRU is probably the only airport in continental Europe where you have to take off your shoes Other airports in Europe are also applying this rule.Last year in ZRH,on my way to Dubai I had to take my shoes off,...and a lot more actually after the sc...

And they are even considering to re-start building the rugged and reliable DHC-5 Buffalo transportplane...
