There is going to be a remake of the old book? I still have it laying around somewhere, a joy to take a look at!

In brief (and in English): A Jetairfly flight from Zakynthos to Brussels has been delayed because of a drunk steward. During boarding a passenger observed that the steward was stumbling on the seats and stinking alcohol. The steward was removed from the flight, but then there were not enough flight attendants to care for all passengers (reminder: one flight attendant for 50 passengers maximum) Thus 11 passengers (did they ask for volunteers?) had to disembark; they were offered a night in a luxury hotel and got the legal compensation (250 euros?).

Not sure the steward got the same deal....

A very special one. The Belgian Air Force A321 coming from Tokyo with the King on board was diverted!

After taking off from Tokyo at 10:15 local time this morning, it should have landed at Ulan Bator in Mongolia 4 hours later. But due to strong winds, the pilot started a go around at the last minute and finally diverted to Hohhot in the Chinese province of Inner Mongolia.

The royal plane was expected at BRU at 20:30 tonight. At best it will be hours late, that is if the pilots don't exceed the 14 hours duty limit. Otherwise it will be tomorrow.

Should have leased an F50 from VLM!

If the BAF had not switched its A330 for an A321, this wouldn't have happened!

The planned route Japan-Belgium had already two fuel stops: Tokyo (Japan) -> Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia) -> Ekatarinaburg (Russia) -> Brussels.

A second crew was waiting for them in Ulaanbaatar (Mongolia). So even with the unplanned stopover at Hohhot (China), they still needed to fly to Ulaanbaatar, to pick up the crew needed for the last two legs. And then a third fuel stop, in Ekatarinaburg. Making it into a 23 hours total journey time. In a A321...

If the BAF had not switched its A330 for an A321, this wouldn't have happened!

Yep. The inventor of that superb 2014 tender is onboard: Pieter De Crem, minister of Defence. I bet that Philippe and Mathilde have asked him ten times already when the contract for this A321 (CS-TRJ) is over.

If they would fly ANA this wouldn't have happened either...

Hello,
Brussels Airlines OO-SNB operated a charter flight BRU - FRA this morning as SN 1047 and is now flying back to BRU as SN 9948.

What's the reason of this particular flight?
Flying Carsten Spohr back home?

Yesterday's TB-303 (Jetairfly / TUI Belgium OO-JDL 787-8) BRU-PUJ Brussels-Punta Cana made a u-turn past London, and returned to Brussels.

The aircraft took off again for Punta Cana some 4 hours after arrival back in Brussels.

Football game Mainz - Anderlecht tonight (20/10).
You can expect next night or tomorrow morning another SN flight to bring the Anderlecht players back home.

Yesterday afternoon, the TUI fly Belgium (or do I have to say TUI Airlines Belgium?) to OST has been on holding for several minutes before landing on runway 26.
Aircraft was the 734 G-RAJG.

Was it weather related?

Thanks, Konus!
