ok, thanks a lot!

it's still possible to download the sabena and swissair timetable for summer 2001!

Hi, with the demise of Mexicana I was thinking about SABENA and suddenly questioned myself 'what did the official SABENA website look like?', because I never saw it or can't remember it. Anyone knows? Maybe a screenshot? Was it anything like the airline websites we know today (booking, advertising, ...

Well, they must feel the competition from AC, which is offering a daily connection.... probably the beginning of the end of TS at BRU if you ask me. when it comes to the business traffic, of course Air Transat is no match for AC. For leisure or VFR traffic though, the hard product is clearly behind...

I also remember seeing a 737 classic at ANR, don't know what airline though. I think it was during an airshow.

the nose gear hold didn't close after retracting the nose gear, this due to an oil leak and loss of hydraulic pressure.

An SN A330 (I think it was OO-SFW) made an emergency landing at BRU at around 12.35. Landed on 25R, emergency forces out in full force. It taxied off the runway near the end of 25R (near Abelag), then sat on the taxiway for about 15 minutes, before being towed to the stand. Anyone know what was wro...

anyone an idea what UA951 (BRU-IAD) was doing?

first it was delayed by 1 hour and when it departed it flew south, towards Cambrai and further into France ???

I don't know if FBM can handle an A333, but when Korongo is up and running it might be a good idea to start BRU-FBM direct so passengers wanting to travel to the DRC accept Kinshasa can easily transfer through Korongo's hub at FBM... or Korongo can start ops from FIH? With a big link between FIH an...

the two happiest days in my life, aviationwise, were : the day Ryanair came to CRL and - still more - the day Sabena collapsed. Cheers. I can understand the first one, I've flown FR a few times and they are ok while some of their fares are unbeatable, so I chose them. Now, the second one...I have a...

I've been looking around at booking engines and find a B757 up till March 2011, so it will probably be te whole winter schedule.

so SN will take care of 80% of the Club Med pax
SN wants just one (or two) type of shorthaul airliner instead of three today (Boeing, Airbus, Avro)
and for 2011 are looking to lease two A320 (or one A320 and one A319)

nice!

very nice contrailwatcherUK! esp. the moon shot and the crossing
thanks

this 'deplorable' runway is also used by SN....makes you think

great news for BRU!!

but stiff competition for Etihad, I would guess.
A morning departure would make the most sense for connections at DOH.

great! thx for the pictures

it just crossed the border near Maastricht!!!

Hi,

I already used this guide a few times and it's really useful!
One thing I'm missing are the signs on the satellite image that mark the spotting locations...

grz

if KLM will also start service to ROB, that means another route where SN had no direct competition before. AirFrance/KLM is hitting back...
what can SN do? anyone a guess?

I'm in for the suggestion, who else? Flying the A380 for that price! (80€/both ways)

yeah, good idea! It's more fun in group, than by yourself

...and we now know the loadfactor: 96%, not bad!
