It's like the dream in Belgium to place railroads on the verge in the middle of the highways , that project never really took off.

And yet, that is exactly where the new railroad from the airport to Mechelen will be...

As per mail received from EVP Sales & Marketing before activation of www.cargob.com site, at this moment they are collecting and reviewing all applications and will get back to applicants by the end of March or early April to advise them where they stand.

Good luck to all interested "to fill the BRU gap" with this team.

A very interesting article about Cargo B

http://www.cargob.com/admin/inschrijvin ... ews/10.pdf

Highlights:
- Focus on Africa and South-America (with possible destinations: Lagos, Libbreville, Johannesburg, Sao Paolo, Quito and Bogota)
- No flights to Asia, because too much competition
- B744F could be joining the fleet in the future as an expansion, not replacement.

According to this article

http://www.luchtvaartnieuws.nl/news/?ID=20486, Cargo B will be leasing a third B747-200F, a former Air France Cargo jumbo.
The first airplane will join the fleet half September, followed by a second one in October and a third in April 2008.

The first routes seem to be confirmed:
- 2 weekly Brussels-Johannesburg-Nairobi-Brussels (starting in September)
- 2 weekly Brussels-Sao Paulo (Viracopos)-Quito-Bogota-Brussels (as from October)

CargoB pumps a LOT of experienced SN pilots (TRI/TRE/Tech pilots)
Not good for b.air I'm afraid.

I think that's the choise of the pilots itselfs. Aviation is not to pleased an other. Its a hard business, every single day.

I think we have to be glad with this new company. A clear vision, very good partners, a good business plan and they know what they want and more important what they not want. They want to fly where there is a huge gap at this moment.

SQC is already active on JNB-NBO-BRU and also SN is offering cargo capacity on NBO-BRU 6 times a week.

What's the main cargo coming from down there? All fruit and veggies?

Excellent news !

The Flemish press today has announced that Cargo-B Airlines has signed a contract with three major investors:

www.petercam.be
www.pmvlaanderen.be
www.qatinvestments.com

Story from Belgium's most reliable (Dutch) financial newspaper:

http://www.tijd.be/nieuws/artikel.asp?I ... 19&sR=true

I'm not going to translate the financial info - just what's interested for most of us here:

- an Irish lease company, founded by Petercam, will rent (trust it's lease) three B747-200's to Cargo B Airlines

- Dirk Vrebos, COO, confirms that they will start JNB in September 2007.

- some weeks later: second plane for South America

- by April 2008, staff should be 120 (mainly pilots)

(off topic: the same article ends, without details with: meanwhile, it seems it's over and out for BEAP Cargo)
