In fact AUH-YYZ could also be flown with a 777-300ER. Actually even a 772ER has the range for that route. But I bet EY will use the 77W to YYZ and the A332 to BRU. At the moment EY receives a new A332 each month or almost. They will soon return the GE and P&W powered machines to the leasing comp...

With a ladder at the refugee centre. Most planes are already airborne overthere, so a good tele-zoom and a ladder may be required. Indeed, certainly a ladder or the fence is mostly in the picture: http://members.airliners.be/albums/userpics/10001/thumb_OE-LDA-EBBR-210305.jpg http://members.airliner...

That said, I know that lay-overs are quite difficult in KSA for the crews... Especially for women that are treated worse than before the middle-age.

One engine was switched off and a precautionary landing was safely performed... As usual, much ado about nothing. When you watched RTL-TVI (yes I did I conceed :oops: :oops: ) it was like the 175 pax escaped the faces of death.

I haven't heard/read many good things about that airport.

It seems quite unconvenient and the links to IST downtown aren't well organized.

Looks great! I am starting to become a big fan of the A330. They need to start service to the US, so I can fly on one and visit all of you. :) BTW: What kind of engines do SN A330s have? They look like P&Ws to me. All SN's A330 fleet is GE powered. The CF6. It wasn't very common untill recently...

I think you mean Bangkok Airways. They are planning to expand their fleet, and move into Europe, but at the moment they only fly short-haul planes (ATR72, B717 & A320), so getting to Brussels would be a bit hard. I would love to see them overhere though, I flew them earlier this year and their ...

A friend and colleague of mine who is vouluntary fireman at the Steenokkerzeel brigade told me that this order was given for pure safety measure. The biulding that was in flame was not a farm but a Technical hangar full of dangerous products/goods. So please... think twice before posting. :roll:

No. They have two hangars, the 40 and the 41. I think it was the 40 that was destroyed. I might be wrong though.

Just a correction (I could be myself wrong !) but I think that 2 out of the 3 ET flights will be with 752ER, the third one with a 767. :?: About, 9W I'm rather pessimistic. I think they'll wait untill they have the ultra long range plane needed to fly non-stop to the US. But I don't know how their c...

I suggest Condor will take a large slice of their concurrents' custom. Then Lufthansa, owner of 50% of Condor, is shooting itself in the foot. Have you seen that the Condor A320 leaves from BRU to MUC at half an hour interval from a Lufthansa A320? Salut André, I've read recently an interview of LH...
