Abnormalities in BRU-ANR-CRL-LGG-OST in 2016

[Homo Aeroportus]

What's going on at BRU?

Indeed RWY change.

I had copied the ATIS just before doors closed and it was 07 active. I was surprised we took off a few minutes later from good ol' 25R; it was about 12:44z.
Looks like the change couldn't be orchestrated smoothly but not sure the BA wave off was due to that.

H.A.

Another charter? With a secret load? And strangely the FR24 record stops at FL54 with the plane heading towards Toulon...

Hi,
Waiting for my LH flight to MUC of 9h10. Was scheduled to arrive with delay at 8h42. However still no airplane. Should be boarding around now (departure 10h00). Anyone more info? Here at the loungedeck no more info available.

[CRJ 900]

Just got more info. Bad weather in MUC. Aircraft on the way now.
Strange it was not announced and 'delayed till 8h42' stayed on the BRU site while the plane was not even in the air.

Good luck if you have a connection!

[CRJ 900]

Hi André,
The plane of my connection flight is blocked in Dresden and will probably have a similar delay as our flight. So I might be lucky
Some arrival pax coming from MUC seem to have missed connections here in BRU.
Taking off any moment now.

Not really an incident in a Belgian airport, but it involves a Belgian-owned airline:

Eindhoven Airport closed after an incident involving an ASL Aviation Cessna 525

Eindhoven Airport was closed to all traffic this Wednesday after a Cessna 525 from ASL Aviation Group was stranded on the runway due to problems with the wheels, the airport reported today.

Three flights of Wizz Air were diverted to Maastricht Aachen Airport. A Transavia flight from Munich was diverted to Rotterdam The Hague Airport. Several flights that had to leave this morning were delayed.

Air traffic has resumed around 11:45.
