Highest alarm is no longer in place according to some sources, rapid reaction team of the Red Cross no longer in alarm.

According to interior minister Jan Jambon, there is no reason to panic.

No Jetair aircraft involved according to Andre Berger, flight operations director of JAF.

A lot of aircraft are still inbound to BRU, which makes me believe that the planes involved will be diverted to other airports.

Hi, not sure this is exactly about the future airport infrastructure, but some questions nevertheless I hope someone may be able to shed light into: 1. 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 curre...

Hi all, 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. This is correct indeed, drop off can be done in all parkings, and will not cost you anything for 15 minutes. Is everything back to...

Some 4000 pieces of luggage were lost at AMS due to staffing problems with KLM ground staff, presumably from the FNV strike. I'd rather go to BRU indeed!

Those new liw floor train sets (MS08) are excellent for luggage. Unfotunatly on the line I have to take their are 35 year old MS80 where you habe climb into... Weren't those being renovated anyways? From Wikipedia: Since 2009 these breaks are being renovated in the "New Look" style of the...

A drive through Zaventem was 25 minutes faster then taking the A201 according to Waze/Maps.

Anyways, Ben Weyts announced today that their would be some infrastructure changes on the R0 and the A201, before the big renovation in 2019.

Brussels Airlines will add an Airbus a330-200 with registration OO-SFT at the end of year. The airbus will be an ex-Swiss. Possible new destinations are already mentioned: Libreville, Lagos and Mumbai. However, a reintroduction of Nairobi is also a possibility. Thank you for the information Airbus2...

Nevertheless, at the latest Skytrax awards ceremony during the Farnborough airshow, TK got the award of best airline in Europe. They'll need several years before to get that again! Makes me wonder more and more if Skytrax is still the reputable source it used to be? :roll: About the FAA ban, I don'...

A large list of cancelled Turkish Airlines flight remain. There are also lots of reports about how 5-star airline (according to Skytrax) Turkish Airlines completely abandoned its customers. This is quite well known amongst other frequent fliers as well, if you fly Turkish Airlines, you better don't...

And the poeple waiting for the pax are still waiting outside will this stay like that? Than I must say those people are not so clever. Everbody is allowed to access the terminal to drop off or pick up relatives or friends, BUT only via departure level (pre-terminal check). Sometimes people "do...

I arrived at around 10.30AM with the train, in the terminal in less than 5 minutes and very convenient. Is the construction of the separate access road for staff already underway?

Food you pay for in "Light" is MUCH better, and now they are going to offer or sell (?) frites and warm "gaufres liégeoises" ? Not what I would call healthy food and imagine the smell in the plane :-( You sometimes have to make compromises, either stick to the menu, which is qui...

On this forum it depends who/what you're critical off Thanks for this great contribution Sean, really adds another dimension to the discussion! :lol: As for the subject, which I prefer to talk about in this topic, tourism will be hit pretty badly again in Istanbul and Turkey. Will the impact be com...

And they fly again this is way more effective than Belgium... You can blame BRU a few times, but constantly "bashing" the airport isn't going to help. We understand that you don't like BRU and their pre-check, neither do we, but we don't have to hear that every single time in a different ...

Airport is about to close according to Turkish ATC. Few flights still landing due to not enough fuel on board to divert. Most diverting to ADB.
