Re: 2021 Brussels South Charleroi Airport (CRL/EBCI) latest news

Wow that sounds very optimistic to me. Not an expert and only based on what I see when dropping of someone at CRL, but I thought it would take still over a year to get that finished? I don't see any landing light infrastructure not yet neither on the carpark side?

Re: Anomalies in BRU-ANR-CRL-LGG-OST in 2021

Unusual indeed instead of heading for AFI, then the leg North of BRU followed by the right hand to intercept the ILS. Maybe they requested this short cut to speed up the arrival? Reason? I seem to remember that many many years ago you could get this shorty when arriving after Beauvechain had closed...

Well as long as the belly is filled with cargo, passenger load factor is only the secondary concern ;)

Re: The one and only topic on which runway in use @EBBR

Seems logical: long-haul and probably some heavy cargo on board, guess we'll see more of this during the works on 25R/07L.

Re: BRU Winter 2020-2021: news, new routes, airlines

Or is another possibility that 2 crews are flying in with one being "off duty" so changing crews in Mauritius to avoid a night-stop or is that not done?

Thx 737MAX. I know it can be used technically but why should you do that? Bleed air is provided by the engines, no?
