I can only imagine the face of a diehard Brexit Yes voter having booked a "BA flight" and boarding an aircraft with AIR BELGIUM billboard titles !

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
Regardless of what it says outside the plane ,inside I think they will get much better service and probably regret they have to do the other half of their trip on BA
If you look at some of the trip report videos online for BA their service seems pretty poor to put it mildly...

Successful negotiations between Russian and Belgian authorities! Air Belgium has now secured overflights for increased frequencies and destination points and access to all Trans-Siberian routes. This result allows us to consider additional destinations!

Unfortunately I can only agree… in Y and Y+ you really feel like cattle… Probably on purpose… fly in C or F, or else…JustPlanes wrote: ↑01 Sep 2018, 09:24 Regardless of what it says outside the plane ,inside I think they will get much better service and probably regret they have to do the other half of their trip on BA

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
AB downgraded HKG ?
According to the booking system, only 2 flights per week between CRL and HKG as from now until 30 of this month....
Should take-off today, but they didn't...

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
I had a chat today with the AF mechanic who was on the flight that got delayed in Libreville at the beginning of the AB operation for AF...that was not a technical delay, it was caused by a catering container that was loaded the wrong way in the hold and was stuck on the roller tracks.
The gabonese loader wanted to unstuck the container by breaking the cargo latches with a sledge hammer...when the AB captain saw the loader guy coming with the heavy hammer through the cockpit window, he went downstairs and ...of course...a more civilized way to fix the problem was used.
