New low cost airline in CRL, starting March 2004

A318 · Post by **A318** » 15 Oct 2003, 22:22

Just found out in March 2004 a new (French) low cost carrier will start flying from Charleroi.
The name is Flyeco and they will start flying with 737-300's.
More information you can find at:
http://www.flyeco.com/

ps. Can somebody put a english translation somewhere from the info of their site? I have no idea what it all says since it is in French

Greetz,

Erwin

Hi,

Seems also that they will have interesting destination, but only in France for the moment, and all of them leisure destinations: Biarritz, perpignan, Nimes and Toulon.

Does anyone have an idea of the 'impact' on Brussels-South? Should be quite important no?

CRL will no longer be a one-airline airport. Excellent for them. Furthermore, Eco's destinations do not compete with Ryanair's.

Eveybody shoud be satisfied.

Yes sn26567, that's true. Question is: will the new airline receive the same 'advantages' as Ryanair?

Yes! The Walloon regional authorities have always said everyone will get the same advantages

As a staunch supporter of Belgian airlines, I think it would be nice to see a new Belgian airline starting up to fly from Charleroi, instead of one Irish airline and an up-coming French airline using the airport.

André, what about Carcassonne (Ryanair) and Perpignan (Flyeco.com)

That seems indeed to be the only possible competition (113 km between both cities, double the distance between BRU and CRL)
