Did they move Brussels airport?
Did they move Brussels airport?
It looks like Amadeus has a little problem with the Belgian geography.

A straight offense
The Belgians all know that the airport is in "vlaams brabant". But do you really think the US or Asian tourists care about that ? NO The tourists just want to go to Belgium that's all. They don't care about our different regions.
I agree it's a mistake but it's definitely not an offense.

This is not something to joke about. I did take it seriously. I tried to get the same info as on the posting , from the Amadeus network but it didn't appear.
I do not believe this is a mistake. It is not normal to put a province name next to the name of an airport. (we are not is the USA where they always put the states in addresses)
We had discussions here before about the status of Zaventem.
But let us take it positively. If it doesn't matter, than legislation by the Brussels government about noise in the south belt doesn't matter as well.
Same rights, same duties.
About email: I did not sent an email to people who take this seriously as well because I could not verify it.

Airport, Region, Country,(CODE)
Just because someone somewhere (amadeus isn't Belgian is it?) entered the wrong region, doesn't mean all hell has broken loose...

IF they enter the province name they can at least enter the correct name in the official language of the territory this airport is located or english.
So Vlaams Brabant or Flemish Brabant
On servinfo the airport is also named Bruxelles National. Couldn't they just take the english name???
Apparantely they fixed it now to Brussels National (BRU), Brussels, Belgium
