Yes, V-Bird, that's indeed what's been said all along...
There was just not enough time to recruit and train Belgian crews bfore they started operating.
I'm already amazed they managed to paint an aircraft, even if it's just a temporary scheme...
Let's cut them some slack and give them some time to develop. ;-)

And... don`t forget,

In the beginning air holland crew will fly the belgiumexel plane.... at this moment -/+ 50% of the air holland crew is former Sabena and CityBird crew, so there will be a belgium staff aboard the plane in the beginning.....


Kind regards

I read in La Libre Belgique today (see article in francophone forum) that they will eventually operate with Belgian cabin and cockpit crew, and even with a Belgian AOC in less than 2 months.

Painted? They only put a BelgiumExel.com logo...

Belgium Exel stijgt op

Vanaf deze ochtend vliegen de Thomas Cook-klanten naar de Caraïben en midden Afrika (Kenya en Zanzibar) met de nieuwe luchtvaartmaatschappij Belgium Exel. DE boeing 767 lande gisterenavond in Zaventem. De bemanning is grotendeels Belgisch en tweetalig. Een dertigtal mensen is al in dienst, die grotendeels van het failliete Sobelair komen. De nederlandse Exe-groep heeft in Nederland, Noord-Italië en op de Caraïben kleinere Luchtvaartmaatschappijen. Sinds enkele maanden vliegt Exel de lange afstanden voor Thomas Cook, en ook TUI, in Nederland. Daarom vond Thomas Cook (met neckermann en Pegase in één groep) een synergie met België een gemakkelijk: als dat ene vliegtuig defect is, kan er een back-up komen uit Nederland?

Grtzzz

If I'm informed correctly they are using the radio callsign "HollandExel" if it was a flight on a Chievres Departure (cleared CIV MEDIL) this morning at about 08:15...

which confirms they don't have the necessary licenses yet

Yep, makes two of them :wink: They could paint the plane in Belgian colors, but then they'd have to make it fly all the time in BRU, 'caus a plane with Belgian colors in the Netherlands :shakehead: :wink:

Anyway, it's nice to see that everything is going ok for them (for the time being)

ciao,
TriStar :wink:
