Abnormalities in BRU-ANR-CRL-LGG-OST in 2015

[sn26567]

The AA Gent football team manager (trainer/entraîneur) wasn't happy with the flight: they took off one hour late, and they had to make an unannounced fuel stop in Vulnius.

... and they arrived three hours late in St Petersburg: they can claim compensation!

The AA Gent football team manager (trainer/entraîneur) wasn't happy with the flight: they took off one hour late, and they had to make an unannounced fuel stop in Vulnius.

... and they arrived three hours late in St Petersburg: they can claim compensation!

No compensation however for the players, their wives/girlfriends, the staff and other AA Gent people who travel for free: they're excluded for 261/2004. Supporters could claim indeminity indeed, but relevant for the "3 hours delay" is how the flight schedule was announced to them (and that was probably not the flightradar24 schedule). Unfortunately, the program has been removed from http://www.kaagenttravel.be/programma, so we don't know for sure.

Anyway : Anderlecht left on time this morning, at 07h05: SN-1181 Brussels-Baku. Arrival there is at 15h15 (three hour time difference). Return flight is SN-1182 on Friday: Baku 15h55 Brussels 18h40.

... and fog in Amsterdam this morning forced Garuda GA-88 Singapore-Amsterdam to divert to Brussels.

Two other aircraft inbound for Lyon went into a short holding there. Don't know if that holding was related to the above AH-2063 divertion.

Md11 from global africa aviation circling a lot above Liege

Very foggy
In the same time, ERJ-135 to munich had no problem to take off.
They use a different version of the ILS ? What could be the reason ?

[sean1982]

The minima for take off are quite a bit lower than for landing (except for CATIIIb then). Also, the MD11 might have a failure which prevents it from a CATIII landing

Taking off in Wx conditions that doesn't allow for landing in case of a blop after V1 is an interesting gamble.

Jetairfly's Boeing 787 OO-JDL is currently being repaired in Cancun after a birdstrike. The passengers are staying in nearby hotels and will fly back to Belgium after the aircraft is repaired.

In that case, you would plan your flight accordingly, with an alternate airport in place for your departure airfield. So yes, it can be done.

[sean1982]

Indeed, you would need a departure alternate

According to my info, at least 2x B747F (OO-THA & OO-THB) and 1x B737F of TNT have diverted to BRU.
