Air Belgium in 2018

[AarjenP]

Even in their flight status colors they're proud to show the Belgian flag!

Surinam Airways, who was Air Belgium's first ACMI client, will use an EuroAtlantic B767-300ER for Saturday's PY-993/PY-994 AMS-PBM-AMS:

When three of your four aircraft are on the ground, and when the competition has to send their aircraft from Lisbon to Amsterdam (flying time LIS-AMS is 3 hours one way), you should be able to offer Surinam Airways a better quote.

(Or perhaps Air Belgium has other charters this weekend.)

Better to keep the A/C on the ground than losing money.

Maybe AB didnt have a purser or captain out of rest? I saw the tender surinam put out and it was for 3 PBM rotations

I remember a while ago someome depicted the poor performance of ABB while flying from Paris to Lagos...with a screenshot attached to demonstrate how ABB was bad in terms of on-time departure...
Well take a look at their Abu-Dhabi operation for British Airways...not that bad!

It doesn't take an MBA to understand that competing against well established carriers in one of the most competitive markets with a new brand, bad shedule, secundary airport, small marketing budget while relying on the patience of your investment partners is a short term and short lived strategy.

And remember STD is push-back time, whilst ATD is take-off time.

Moreover, any delay listed in these tables is meaningless anyway since there is no indication of their cause.

STD = Scheduled Time of Departure
ATD = Actual Time of Departure

Thanks for the heads-up, but what I meant was that those delays in Paris weren't code fourty!

Heard from a member of the management: "There's room for everybody on the market".

For the moment, let's say they know what they're doing. Time will tell us if Air Belgium is a success or a fail.

Heard from a member of the management: "There's room for everybody on the market".

I can't really agree. Maybe ask the management of Primera Air, VLM Antwerp... or even Air Berlin?
