Hm, I didn't - quite ashamed in fact :oops: - luckily my own error detector triggered it quite quick. With sincere apologies to Zijne Koninklijke Hoogheid . (and by the way thanks for pointing out my brief stupidity with discretion)

With about one month to go before the first revenu flight to Hong Kong, Air Belgium has availability for ad hoc flights for their two A343's.

So last weekend, Air Belgium had a meeting with the Belgian tourism trade, and the result is a spectacular and innovative plan: domestic flights in Belgium. Air Belgium will offer a business routing for those who want to avoid the daily traffic pile ups on both the E40 and the E19. And there will be a leisure routing for daytrip travellers who don’t want to drive 2 x 250 kms on one day - like Flemish people going to the Ardennes, and Walloons daytrippers going to the Flemish Coast.

Hence Air Belgium announced two routes:
1. 12345--: OST-ANR-BRU / BRU-ANR-OST (*)
2. -----67: LGG-OST-LGG / OST-LGG-OST

(*) Air Belgium's OPS says that Antwerp Airport indeed is possible for an A340, given the extremely low fuel load and the total embargo on hold luggage and cargo.

The flights schedule was online yesterday, but unfortunately the website is back in maintenance at this very moment. This was the link yesterday:

Why are these planes landing back in Brussels? Thought they'd be in CRL by now?

They need not be in CRL before 29 April and it's easier to park them in BRU, from where it's also easier to send them on a wet-lease mission.

Antwerp airport is very happy to announce the extend of the runway by 1500 m.

I tried to open the Air Belgium website but got a '504 Gateway Time-out' error message.

Best regards,
