Wonder if there are also Y-seats in his modest Gulfstream G550

Re: Abnormalities at BRU / ANR / LGG / CRL / OST

Some passengers told me that other passengers told them in Egypt that a flight from BRU to Sharm el Sjeik had to divert to Cairo yesterday (Sunday), to offload a sick passenger.

Anyone with more info?

Re: future of BMI, SN to Heathrow

Just do your math... I can't. I don't have access to the software that airlines use to calculate OPS, lease costs, maintenance, etc. It's time that you stop taking your cheap shots at me, you're making yourself ridiculous and turning every thread on the forums into your personal frustration relief ...

Re: BRU summer 2010: latest news, routes, airlines

Indeed, the press release doesn't mention anything about a codesharing with Brussels Airlines.

But it is not a press release from Hainan Airlines: it is a press release from Brussels Airport.

It's up to Hainan Airlines - and eventually Brussels Airlines - to advise more details about this.

OO-JAP which was supposed to fly BRU-PUC today, is now assigned to BRU-LTN (departure 16u00 local). Some technical problems? And as said in this topic , JAF 523 is now to be operated by CS-TFT.

Re: African operations possible with narrow body equipment

Can a A319-100 fly from Brussels to any destination in Central Africa, East Africa or West Africa? Yes, because Airbus says it has a range of 6.800 km: http://www.airbus.com/index.php?id=1525 For the non-aviation professionals: this range is only valid for ideal flights conditions. Compare it to the...

LX-LGX, About the noise problem, it's clear and very clear that you cannot compare noise regulation when you have a whole city of 1 million people suffering from the noise and in LGG only 250 houses, sound proofed, that decided to stay there instead of selling their house.

The aircraft had it first official mission today: a VIP-trip with the Belgian press.

(VIP was Pieter De Crem, Belgian's minister for Defence).

9W230 DEL-BRU making a stop in SVO? Medical emergency or technical emergency? Medical emergency, indeed. The delay (over 4 hours) was more caused by problems after the landing in Moscow: administrative problems, de-icing and getting a new slot. Source: Aviation Herald: http://avherald.com/h?article...

Senegal Airlines has signed a MoU for 4 x A320 and 2 x A330-200.
