it is nice to see that brussels airport did follow the spotters needs, in adding the AC type.

however all types are classified in 1 group, for ex 767-200,767-300 and -400 are stated as 767..

but nice improvement though!!!

Still... would be good if, like some other airports, they'd put the aircraft registration. Could this be possible or forthcoming?

Just click on the tracking info which is just next to the flight status on the arrivals/departures page.

Yet a better idea: the a/c regnumber displayed as well... :P But maybe that's little too much to ask from Brussels Airport (or isn't it? :P )

I'm not that enthusiast to be honest... I always have a look at the a/c type pop-up in order to know which variant an airline is going to use (319-320-321-738-AR1-AR8...). Everyone (well almost ok!) knows that BA is going to send an "A320 Series" for its BRU-LHR run. Don't we ?

I guess it was too much work for BRU Airport's web designers... to be at the others' level. Both on the web and in reality. :roll:

2 other, small but important, remarks:

- if you look up "brussels airpot" in Google, and you click the first link wich leads to brusselsairport.be, you'll get to see the page in French... Is this a matter for Google or for BAC?

- if you want more details of the 32S you'll also get to see the page in French...

wouldn't be too hard to state a version of the type of aircraft I think...
But sometimes it is stated, like this evenings IB3214 MAD-BRU, it says 320 instead of 32S... (just happen to look at this one, but I suppose on others, this is the case aswel.

Not only for 32S but for every type.

But indeed very nice they added the a/c type again.

Thanks Brussels Airport!

I agree.

Thanks to Brussels Airport for bringing back the plane type, but it would not have cost one cent more to make the type more accurate.

Another improvement is that you now can see the full name of the airline just by pointing with your mouse to the code.

Thanks again, BAC.

Another improvement that I just noticed (there are many cancellations today!):

The word 'canceled' in American English has been replaced by 'cancelled' in UK English. Good decision: we are in Europe, after all!
But indeed very nice they added the a/c type again
... and if you click on the plane type, you get a new window with a picture of the aircraft!
