I think this is a planned phase-out. Sad to see this Belgian Icon go though :cry:

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?

Re: APU avail inflight?

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

Hi all While watching [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTnKdGtjrIY[/youtube], I saw on the ECAM "APU avail" during approach. Could someone please explain which technical reason there might be behind this? Curious to see as I thought this was never (well, never) done inflight? Thank...

Re: BRU 28/02/2020

Why would an Aer Lingus A330 delivery flight from Toulouse stop in Brussels? For the same reason that EI-EIM passed through BRU previously? Technical modifications by LH Technik? Indeed, their previous 330 did the same run. At this moment OO-SNB (SN A320) is flying BRU-GNB as BEL1165. Returning fro...

Nothing against your enthusiasm and commitment Ansett, but a crodwfunding for a commercial company part of a huge airline group with thousands of rich shareholders sounds... a bit weird at least :?
