Hello André,

Could you say where it will be installed ?

Hello André,

Could you say where it will be installed ?

Probably at Sonaca...

Also, extension and reorganisation of the commercial zone at BSCA is on the way. An offer interested them, but I won't say which corp or sum for now, for privacy, so they chose them.

I can only say the works will begin on 1st October 2018.

TV reporters are busy with ABB at Charleroi, probably due to the arrival of Sabena Aerospace at CRL.

[TLspotting]

Sabena Aerospace is investing €1M at Charleroi for providing services.

Any more news ?

Nice, but I think during the next years they will have their own hangar...

Not sure. The Sabena Aerospace MRO station is located in the alignment (extension) of the terminal, near the "Mécanique" building.

Flightradar24 shows these flights :

Bug or future launch ?

Damn you were quicker than me

[TLspotting]

But I got this :
AH2066 ALG-CRL -2----7 16:30-19:10
AH2067 CRL-ALG -2----7 20:10-22:55

[sn26567]

Air Algérie will be the 8th airline on the tarmac of CRL. To lessen a little more the grip of Ryanair...

[cathay belgium]

Hi,

Means this Air Algerie will leave BRU ?

CXB

[ZavCity]

No, schedule BRU remains

[sn26567]

There is a large Algerian community around Charleroi and in Northern France for which CRL is easier than BRU, hence the decision of AH to serve both airports.

y a-t-il une raison de ne pas les [ A340] garer de l'autre côté de la piste le long de la nationale vers l'ancien terminal?

Reponse
C'est prévu d'en stationner deux à cet endroit. L'étude de faisabilité est en cours, les marquages ont même déjà été réalisés. C'est un problème de place, un bâtiment doit être déplacé, des voies de service (pour les véhicules) déviées. Et puis c'est à l'opposé du terminal, donc ça pose des problèmes organisationnels s'il faut déplacer l'avion alors que l'aéroport est en LVP (en cas de brouillard,- Low Visibility Procedure).

Et le souci est qu'ils prennent de la place, or BSCA est en train de développer l'avion commerciale et d'affaire au sud. DOnc un A340 ou 2 rogne sur leurs stands...

Et puis aussi, il faut que tous les services s'entendent : SPW (nous), BSCA, Belgocontrol, la Sowaer (+ faire les travaux nécessaires via des marchés publics...), le Safety Office (SPW aussi) et enfin la DGTA. C'est pas une mince affaire
