They talk about the existing tnt flights but they forget ethiopian is also flying that route, going east only and fedex going west.
Very popular route indeed, but 1 flight per week is nothing...

Flights started in april, 4 flights a week increasing to 8 a week in the summer.

Is this new concerning U-Tours charters as well?

At least LGG gets new ones, Brussels Airport will get 2 second hand ones. (but admittedly they are very nice ones, virtually unused). We had one of them at our fire department in Londerzeel for our parade this Sunday. It's a Carmichael Cobra2 6x6 crashtender ex-United Kingdom, year of construction 2003. Not sure how old the second one is, it might be slightly younger but same make & model. A local GSE dealer is currently fixing it up, painting it and making all the papers in order for use on Brussels Airport. I'll try to post some pics in the next couple of days
