I don't know much about ticketing, just stick to the classic Y (economy), C (business) and F (first class), all other letters are subclasses from cheap to expensive I guess, but if you have eg. K4 L4 M4 Y4 means that there are only 4 seats left in economy and not 16.


That's not correct.
Each ...

Although it s one of the emptiest international airports in Europe, you should agree that it s also one of the most expensive as well as the slowest (in regard to turn-around times).
For these reasons, not that many carriers are interested.
Perhaps on a long run it might interest some long-haul ...

Euhm I heard from one of my colleages who used to work for the airport security that Aviapartner handworkers are overexploited, that the managements has no feelings for them.
Actually sometimes they are so overused that the security people need to load the luggages on the aircraft in their place ...

One injury will not jeopardize social relations between workers and management. I am sure that even union-people have brains (in contradiction to what some people believe) and that strikes are not happening after a one-night sleep.

The ones who set up the strike don't have brains imho. The ones ...

Today's accident resulted in a wrist fracture. That is no reason to organize such strike, so trust there's another reason for the unions to go on strike. Salary increase perhaps?

Since the take over by 3i workers have been reporting an increase in pressure and stress... They just use little ...

:lol: You exactly understand what I mean...I don't criticize people working for those handling agents but we know very well there is a lot to improve to satisfy those mega low cost needs, bus available,special assistance presents when the aircraft opens doors...

What i meant is that the quality ...

Aviapartner or the other bru ground handling have 4 months to train their staff to speed up an acft rotation , I understand why easyjet starts slowly in bru, with those actual handling operators it will take twice the scheduled turn around time ...
believe me!!

The concept is different: when the ...

First of all: the 'other handling company' is called Flightcare. And it is Flightcare (where I work) that will handle Easyjet flights.

Every day we handle flights with short turnarounds (Vueling and some SN and VEX flights for example) that prove that we can do a rotation in 25 minutes.

Be ...

Kinda funny, when i started reading this thread i expected to see a "different version than on tv", yet aviation enthousiast are also whining the same bullsh*t as the people on tv??

What on earth has a rabbit in an engine to do with bad maintenance? This happens and if it happens during a busy ...

Shouldn't Delta concentrate om the fact that they are a very unhealthy airline for the moment? This seems like a very dangerous investment to me.

Don't think this is dangerous at all... the particular destination might be, but their international expansion is a reaction to the changing ...

Hi,

For a school paper on cost accounting in the service industry i am looking for some more information concerning the cost accounting used by low cost carriers and their ground handling suppliers.

Could anyone help me on finding information on the way lcc assign their costs?

And or the way ...

I trully wonder wich mergers will be completed first... a joint AF-KL + IB (or even AZ) would create a superpower European airline though (which doesn't garantee neither profits nor quality).

I think any airline can be jealous on the South American network IB has...

I am quite sure that, at a certain price, the flightcare personnel can be requested to wear the SN uniform, this would reduce flexibility (changing etc) so it would cost more..

Buying flightcare is not an option at all. I suppose the flightcare group from Spain wants to expand their activities in ...

yeah, but dont forget that brussels airport is a fu** mess, there are thousands of people complaining every month about noice and every 6 months someone from the government suggest to kill zaventem and make another airport somewhere ...

Second that, they also mention a "stable juidicional ...

Although i don't know too much on the matter, i suppose there is little reason to do it themselves... i thought they were always happy with flightcare, and it would only limit flexibility i think...

I heard somewhere that easyjet would love to have Menzies as handler in BRU, could that be correct? They do use Menzies's kiss service a lot if i'm correct?

Just a remark on the statement that more competition always leads to better situation for the costumers.

(...)

More competition? Yes please, but only in a fair...

Although your examples might be true stories, the theory that lies beneath liberalization is fairly simple. Create open markets ...

yes indeed, and having the gulf airs is not a good thing...

As far as i know all 767-200 are out of, or will be put out of DL's fleet.
