Cargo B Airlines starting from October 2007?
If you can count the blades of my engines while they work, you are too close to be save

I wish them good luck. Rumour or not, it seems that they have done a lot of work till now. And those who have founded this new cargo airline are not beginners.
But it will be hard work. Daily flights, with two or three aircrafts, ex-BRU is a lot. I know that we have to do a lot to fill our single B747 for flights to China. They have to find many clients in Belgium and in our neighbour countries.
But I see that they will fly to South-America. Good choise, competition with Martinair Cargo for fresh food and flowers.
That would mean that BRU will have two new Belgian cargo airlines in one year: Silverfleet who is already started and in april with leased B747 of Evergreen and in October Cargo B Airlines

Re: New Belgian cargocarrier starting from October 2007?
I miss this kind of courage and ambition at Brussels Airlines.Cargo B Airlines gaat dagelijke vluchten uitvoeren naar belangrijke markten als het Midden en Verre Oosten, Afrika en Zuid-Amerika.
The company is based in Flanders, and therefore has been registered in Dutch only:

I don't think they will operate own planes: own funds are (with all respect) only 61.500 euro.

My comments
First, Cargo B Airlines makes me think of B Cargo, the SNCB-NMBS subsidiary in charge of rail freight.
Second, the B rings the Brussels Airlines B-tail. Would they have any kind of link at all? Remember the rumors of SN looking at combi 744s?
Third, good luck to the new airline. Pitty this seems to announce competition between two new borns (Silverfleet and Cargo B Airlines).

interesting to see that also BRUCARGO is expanding with new airlines (especially if based in Belgium). I hope both new airlines will do good!
