Air Lipsia,isn't it a joke?
Can find them on the net no info no pics of aircrafts..
What material would they bring to BRU?
Something like OLT?
CX-B
seems to be a start-up with money from Canadian funds. Aircraft are wetleased as far as I could see from a Czech Company, Central Connect Airlines. Air Lipsia plans to fly to London soon as well and to operate with its own aircraft by the second half of 2011. But I could not find a website as well, so far only local press reports about the new airline in German like this one:

Um ... no, not really. Pax on this route are almost all DHL staff...

Loads are light and when I say light I'm being incredibly respectful...

Strange... :?

Aren't the planes used on this route ver small? I mean a tram can probably hold more people than those planes...anyways it's always good to have new carriers at airports :)

Turkish Airlines will send more and more their A330 and even B777 to BRU due to higher demand. A scheduled 330 or 777 is too early.

Some nice birds at BRU ;)

This is partly the reason (the hadj was from 13 to 17 November). TK is using bigger metal to BRU since a while.

TK is correct when they are saying that the demand is higher. Turkish and Pegasus are the only carriers who flies to Istanbul (both airports). Jetairfly is doing this from CRL.

Hi I have a quick question, I was looking for flights Brussels - Aberdeen and I checked with Flybe to see if I could do a connection in Manchester...the dates I looked was BRU - ABZ 8 December return 14 December and when I clicked search a message popped up saying "Please be aware that this route is due to commence on the 10/12/2010"

Is this what comes up when you use flybe's website or is it a hint towards perhaps a route to Aberdeen?

I think they stopped the route. I've seen the website of leipzig/halle two weeks ago and it seemed that from 15 november only the flights for Air Lipsia are shown.

OLT is not flying this route anymore. OLT is only serving Bremen now.

Leipzig is BTW still not listed as a scheduled destination to/from BRU.

OLT (Ostfriesische Lufttransport) stopped flying to Leipzig on 12 November.

The timetables of Brussels Airport will be updated in a few days and will include Leipzig.

Assume they fired their IT'ers for reasons of tightening budgets and either didn't replace them at all or outsourced their IT to a bunch of incompetent newbies hired by some great marketeers.

(from a frustrated unemployed IT'er)

Looks like Air Vallee will start flights to Angers in January 2 times a week, increasing to 4 at the end of January.

On page 9 of this thread, it is mentioned that SkyWorks Airlines will start direct flights from Bern to Brussels and Angers in Feb 2011. Is it a combined operation with Air Vallée?
