Air Belgium in 2018

Video of one touch and go at CRL

Nice video. Thanks for sharing!

I agree. That excellent landing was very close to the threshold of the runway, giving the aircraft a maximum distance to come to a stop on this short runway (which was not the case here as the aircraft took off immediately thereafter).

Premium economy too!

It is a costly experience for AB, as all the money goes to the fight against cancer! But a nice advertisement.

Got my ticket 5 minutes before sold out (just after 7.30pm) - Economy class.

I'll share with you the experience!

Any chance for a second flight ? Given how fast the first one was sold out...

At what time the booking for the preparation flight will open on Monday ?

[Airbus330lover]

very good question

[Amavro]

No specific time schedule (yet), we'll have to check by ourselves.

[domtom]

So, with the charity flight and first flight frenzy aside, has anyone considered what will happen if/when AB gets its additional planes, and opens new destinations. Will it really fly from CRL then? I mean, can you even park so many big planes at the same time on the tarmac (assuming of course, they'd have e.g. 4 planes on the ground at any one time).

Thanks

Assuming the contract between AB and CRL airport is for at least 10 years, i guess the answer is yes. It depends on the slots available... Furthermore, CRL has some projects about building a third terminal. It is still possible to build more parkings for aircafts.

Where? I don't know if they own the wooded land between the airport and the European flight simulator. They are plenty of space there if available

[Amavro]

The most likely option is to build them in lieu of the graveyard. I don't know if you know it's location ?
For the third terminal, they hesitate between building one on the top of the actual T1-T2, or building a real one to the right of the Terminal 1.

But this is not for today, and that is all what they told me during my internship last year.
