Re: Trivia 2018 (miscellaneous news)
A small plane going from Goetsenhoven (EBTN) to Zwartberg (EBZW) misidentified the destination airport and landed at Kleine Brogel Air Base (EBBL), about 17 km north of their intended destination. The occupants were released after interrogation, but the plane is still held at EBBL: http://www.standa...

Re: Crashes and serious incidents/accidents in 2018
I flew at EBZW yesterday myself, but left the airfield before this accident happened. There was quite a lot of crosswind and therefore little traffic. Plane landed on RWY 03 with a crosswind from the east. One would thus expect an outbreak in towards the right if the wind catches the tail. The remai...

I find it more worrisome that the DRC keeps fraudulent diplomats in Belgium.

Re: Alitalia near bankruptcy. Can it be saved?
With the upcoming elections on Sunday and the political turmoil that is foreseen afterwards, I wonder how anyone can still believe that's going to be the final deadline.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018
I guess Spohr has been mainly looking at the competition: which European full service airline groups have not yet launched a low cost, low service subsidiary?

Re: Air Belgium: a rebirth?
Yes indeed but Brussels Airport is regulated by federal administration given the special status of the airport. When you enter the airport you are not in the flemish region anymore even if the airport is surrounded by the flemish region, you are not in the Brussels region neither, even if it's &quo...

Re: Air Belgium: a rebirth?
BRU is a case very special as this is the national airport of Belgium, I'm not really convince that the worker are more french speaking or Dutch speaking. Me neither; I used that statement solely for the sake of the argument. Language policy and planning in public places is a complicated matter, wh...

Where Flanders wins in aviation? The 2 biggest airport in a whole country are french speaking meanwhile french speaking people is only 35% - 40% of the population in Belgium!

Re: Air Belgium: a rebirth?
They apparently also claim that for passengers living west of Brussels, the travel time to CRL is shorter than to BRU. Apart from a few exceptions (Tournai, Mons, Geraardsbergen and maybe Ronse), this is simply not true.

On top of that, every musician knows that his/her wooden instrument shouldn't be placed in the normal hold of a plane. The temperature shock doesn't do any good to the wood and thus the sound quality.

600 EUR is usually not going to cover the cost of a lawyer preparing and pleading a case in court.

Re: Which future fighter jet for Belgian Defence?
The Saab JAS 39 Gripen E is no longer considered because Sweden can not deliver the asked for "extended operational support". As a result Sweden withdrew.

Re: VLM Airlines news 2017
In the case of Alitalia, this is limited to their leased fleet as Italian law makes it very difficult to a lessor to repossess their planes when (no longer if imo) AZ folds.koninckske wrote: ↑25 May 2017, 22:47 Other airlines do it as well: an example is Alitalia; flying many Irish registered planes... so doesn't seem to be an issue.

Re: Another serious onboard incident in the U.S., this time on American American AA-591 - a buggy incident
That would be true for any sizeable piece of hand luggage that doesn't fit under a seat. I'm asking why SN treats it different from any other piece of hand luggage, which they don't in my experience.

Although, I don't understand, why she was thinking, the buggy would be accepted on board, not any belgian carrier accepts those in cabin. That's not quite accurate. I don't know which type of stroller/pram she had, but I personally own a stroller that folds up to cabin luggage size. Airline staff s...
