In the Netherlands, the former military airfield of 'Twente' near Zwolle in the province of Overijssel, will soon be open again for civil use.
Yesterday formal approval was received to restart operations.
Military activities stopped end 2007,but now the airport will be operational again by end of march 2017 for 'business flights, test flights and ...dismantling of old aircraft'.

Re: Trivia 2017 (miscellaneous news)
If they really want to dismantling old aircraft, this airport will become partially a storage airport. It is for Belgian planespotters then less far than Lourdes or Teruel to spot those planes. Very nice

Re: Trivia 2017 (miscellaneous news)
What types of planes will be stored at Ostend? I know there are some A340's at Lourdes and some 747's at Teruel. Those types at Ostend would be very niceFLYAIR10 wrote: ↑03 Mar 2017, 11:36Of course you can also drive to Ostend in future ,which is even closer,I guess...If they really want to dismantling old aircraft, this airport will become partially a storage airport.

Regarding the cancellation of personal IFE screens on the new 737's at TUI Fly, discussed here:
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=60657&sid=98528cae6 ... 60#p347707
It seems to me that the smart managers from all airlines think that people cannot live anymore without smartphones, tablets and 100 apps. Just like Sean said in the above topic: a lot of passengers, specially the non-frequent flyers, specially the 65+ and 70+, don't want their lives ruled by apps. If they go on holiday by aircraft, they want that their gate number is printed on the boarding pass. They switch off their mobile once they have boarded. They never will select airplane mode. They want to see where they're flying on an IFE screen. They want to read the inflight magazine. They're fine with the choice of movies.
Airlines - and specially holiday airlines like TUI - should be carefull not to make flying an unpleasant experience for people who don't know how to use apps. If so, they will simply switch from airline and touroperator.
Just now, IATA has sent out an invitation to an webinar: Redefining Customer Experience. In this webinar, we will examine the customer experience through the personalization of the passenger journey as well as the challenges facing airlines and how technology can help. We will explore how customer experience dynamics have changed in the last decade and look ahead to airline customer experience in the future. Airlines have an opportunity to differentiate themselves by enabling a rich customer experience. This will ensure that airlines both attract a rich customer base and enjoy increased revenue potential by offering the right set of additional services to their customers. Supported by innovative technology, an exciting ‘win-win’ relationship lies ahead.

There you go: rent out tablets!
Then again, when flying SN's Avro fleet or FR's 737 fleet: no info whatsoever, never heard a 70+ pax complain...
