Re: European aviation blacklist: update December 2015

It looks like Thai airlines narrowly escaped the blacklist, after a downgrade in the US. Becoming CAT II says nothing about the EU list.There are many FAA categoty II countries which aren't on the EU list (i.e. Bangladesh and Ghana). Moreover, the EU list allows airlines to be allowed despite the c...

Re: SN stops BRU<->RIX route from 11 november 2016

I just received official confirmation from Brussels Airlines that they will stop flying SN2367 BRU->RIX and SN2368 RIX->BRU from 20160111. What a pity removals from the flight schedule are always happening so silently! Since I fly this route (very) regularly, I can only hope that FR increases its f...

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels?

That seems so. Just today the KLM CEO mentioned the start of cooperation with 9W (without any specifics, but I don't see what that could mean other than 9W flying to AMS): http://www.parool.nl/parool/nl/30/ECONOMIE/article/detail/4203720/2015/12/08/KLM-wil-met-Europese-groeispurt-Nederlanders-terug...

The EIN flights will be aimed at EIN originating people (it will be flown with an EIN based aircraft, just ...

Re: 2015 Liège Airport (LGG/EBLG) latest news

Excuse me if it was already mentioned, but did I hear a rumour about the BMI service LGG-MUC terminating by end of November 2015? Probably more than a rumour as I can't book the flight anymore anywhere as of December 1st. Also no timetables given on the BMI Regional website. Too bad airlines are no...

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels?

I suppose 9W continues selling flights to/from BRU as usual until the moment the end of the BRU hub will be officially announced to the public (probably to avoid a drop in bookings :?: ). Which is what every airline does....nothing special. Indeed. It's a bit unfair by 9W/EY, as they already know a...

Now that AI has joined *A, things might be different. Those issues have been solved and LH sends t...

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels?

There are plenty of reasons why one can assume that Jet Airways will not take up the slots they’ve asked and, apparently, recieved in AMS. Actually, just a few months ago, another carrier did the same major announcement “Amsterdam, here we come!”. But finally, they’ve cancelled all their slots exce...

They were not arrested. They were, at the most, interrogated by the police and then released without charge. If the infracts are correct, those passengers should have been arrested upon arrival in Charleroi. Infracts against aircrew's orders are punished severely, with jail punishment and a high fi...

You clearly don''t live in The Netherlands as it's clearly not the case.

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels?

1. they will face severe competition in AMS for the route with the highiest yield = the simple flight from Europe to India. KLM flies daily to India, sometimes even with a 747-400. India-US travel with a stopover in Europe is good for the numbers, but bad for the yield/revenu. However, KL may stop ...
