H.A.
What's flying spanner? Crew that's on the same plane and kicks into gear for the return leg? Any destinations you know of that work this way?

Re: on crew layover

Thanks. I presume the question is - do pilots and crew from Emirates et Ethihad or Qatar just stay a night in Brussels, or more? I remember asking a crew member when landing into IAD who said they just stayed a night cos the flight was a short hop from Amsterdam. So they left the next day. Would th...

on crew layover

Hi

1) removed

2) related to this, do the emeritary airlines (qatar Emirates etc) send their crews and back on the same flight, or do they stay a night in brussels?

3) am I right in assuming SN crew typically rest a night abroad befote returning to brussels?

Thanks

flying a simulator (for fun)?

Hello,

I was wondering whether you can recommend any simulator (for leisure), in/around Brussels or In Belgium. I am mainly interested in A320 as have done 737 simulators in past. However I found this: Brussels flight simulators.com

Thanks

Re: Brussels Airlines will start Mumbai from March 2017

Press release says flight details to be released in September. What might it look like? Departure late morning (10ish or 11), then return early next morning?

With your back to Sheraton, what is the old terminal building being used for, and indeed is it used at all? (this is the building between the curren...

Getting to BRU

Hi all, I haven't been to BRU in a while by road. I understand correctly that the drop off is now done directly in the parking buildings. I read a few days ago there were very long queues to get to the airport. Is everything back to normal? How long do you reckon one needs to arrive for a flight to ...

Bodes rather well for THAI to continue flying into Brussels, then, I suppose.

Thai in Brussels?

How is Thai airlines doing in Brussels? I saw on another forum that maybe Thai will deploy some of its A350 in the course of this year/next to destinations like BRU. Will the airline still be flying here though?

Use of 07L or 07 R

So I realised that there have been quite a few landing towards the East. Generally, this is on 07L, but yesterday evening, planes were using 07R. Is there a reason for this/rationale for which of the 2 runways is used?

Thanks

07L or 07R at BRU

Hi, So I've noticed that planes have been landing quite regularly towards the East, as opposed to the more regular use of RNYs 25. Still, there appears to be more regular use of 07L for landing, though last night, they changed to 07R (I'm right under the glide path). This appears to be mainly in the...
