Hi all,

This is not a bad result, but don't forget that February had this year 29 days. This makes already a big difference ...

DHL will need to expand soon ......... hopefully it will be BRU but if the government dont allow it, I think alot of the movements will be moved to Liepzig..... hope not!

New route for DHL will be BGY-TLV on the B4 and possibly 757. Depends on Loads.

One day more in February is a little more than 3%. Hence the increase remains noticeable, even i there had been only 28 days.

Yes, but the total amount of movements would have gone down if there were only 28 days... Anyway, that means higher loadfactors!

Good news indeed.

The challenge now is to keep this growth trend and to be more competitive especially after the recent merger of Air France and KLM. whose airports are only hours away from BRU.

I don't know wy every one is talking about Leipizg as alternatif for DHL. Can tell you that DHL is building a new Hub in Leipzig and that is it. We will stay in Belgium and most probably it will be Bru but Lge is also a good solution.

That's indeed some good news, now we only need some big ones coming from Asia and the Middle East like Cathay, Emirates.....

Great news 8)

If I remember correctly, most of the DHL operated flights to BAH were via BGY. Does this mean that there will be more flights via BGY, or are the BAH flights direct ones now
