Re: Air Antwerp in 2019
More expensive? Yes and no
Yes if you buy a long time before the flight.
No if you book last minute fe. Next Monday and return on Tuesday. Let's take the afternoon flights: KLM 620 EUR (basic fare) and with Air Antwerp only 264 EUR (economy).

Re: Air Antwerp in 2019
I would expect them to sell seats on the same flight at the same fare level, since KLM is Air Antwerp's shareholder.koninckske wrote: ↑26 Oct 2019, 20:23More expensive? Yes and no

Re: Air Antwerp in 2019
In a codeshare, every airline keeps the freedom to set prices at the level it wants. The only constant is the price that the airline pays to the actual operator of the flight. (That's at least the answer I got once from Johan Maertens, CEO of Air Antwerp).skumfiduse wrote: ↑26 Oct 2019, 18:40One thing that keeps remarkable though: KLM is selling Air Antwerp flights at a cheaper fare level.

Why not? But, personally, I think "Brabo" would have been a better fit.Passenger wrote: ↑05 Nov 2019, 10:23OO-VLS = "Pagadder": .

Re: Air Antwerp in 2019
The name "Pagadder" doesn't mean anything to anyone who is not from Antwerp. International recognition? Come on, you can do better.
Furthermore, several weeks to get a certification for a sticker? Is that a joke?

Re: Air Antwerp in 2019
For me this name is the first word in my vocabulary of Antwerp dialect, but I agree that is does not at all reflect international aspirations of a new airline.
And if the name is going to last, why not have it decently painted instead of a sticker?

As mentioned on facebook: according to https://www.acl-uk.org/wp-content/uploa ... report.pdf Air Antwerp has been granted 44 weekly slots at London City Airport LCY: 12 more compared to the 32 current flights (5 days x 6 + 1 round-trip on Sunday). This means they can do 6 flights more each week.
That's for Summer 2020, is it already time for a new thread "Air Antwerp in 2020"?

Re: Air Antwerp in 2019
Why is TUI mentioned on that Airline/LCY list?

Re: Air Antwerp in 2019
Putting stickers on a plane is not a simple process, as some of you think.
1. Material: the stickers used cannot be bought in a standard shop like Carrefour. A technical drawing describing every detail has to be made, the stickers may not be applied to any component that gets warm during the flight or on any moving part that would require ground engineers to perform more maintenance. The stickers can’t just fall off after one or two flights. For that reason, the materials are tested in temperatures ranging from -50° C. to 110° C.
2. Application: The sticker is divided into layers. Each layer is applied using a squeegee, pressing from the inside out. If a bubble appears, it needs to be popped with a needle. Also, an extra layer varnish is sprayed all around the edges because the application tape is only 65 micrometres thick. The entire process requires a couple of hours.
So, when AA said they need a few weeks, it is very understandable. I guess they will give the name ’Pagadder’ a special design, then they need to be ordered following the specs mentioned earlier, and then the plane has to be standing still for a couple of hours to get the stickers applied in a closed hangar (during the week there is hardly any time because of 3 rotations to LCY).
