Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future


This situation happened after the attacks ,and it is a compromise.


I'm not sure what the "drop zone" is; if you mean where cars can drop off passengers and drive off, you're right that the new location adds even more demand for the escalators/elevators. Still, I believe it's a net positive that ...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

I don't pass in BRU that much anymore; maybe that makes it easier to notice some things.

I noticed this month how dilapidated, disfunctional, and dated the "Nieuwe Terminal" is starting to look . Yes, notwithstanding its official name, it's not actually "new": I'm referring to the part of the ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Happy that the European "fancy" branded fares are going away and will be replaced with the more serious branded fare structure of the LH Group, as it was always difficult to match booking class with the applicable fancy branded fare.

I still believe there an Economy Flex Y fare should be offered ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020


The decision was explained to the passengers as part of the implementation of travel restrictions to reduce incoming flow at external borders of the European Union as well as discouraging outbound travel of EU citizens and residents to reduce vulnerability against Covid-19.

Re: Swissport Belgium nv/sa bankruptcy

Swiss is a new client for them and most clients have some deviations in their handling procedures.


That's possible, I overheard the LX supervisor who also was on the flight saying there were "some issues" last Monday and that he was to observe the handling process, they seemed unhappy with some ...

Re: Swissport Belgium nv/sa bankruptcy


So I can't believe that there were 10 Aviapartner employees to handle 1 flight. ;)

We had 6 baggage loaders. On the pic you see 5, note to the left there are 2 close to each other with one obstructing the view of the other. The 6th one was in the cargo bay.

National Cargo 747 N952CA landing RWY26 at OST as we speak, flying in from ORD in less than 7 hrs, more than an hour faster than the United ORD-BRU flight this morning.

Hmmm, I never have problems understanding pilots or ATC in these DVD's... . But except for Sobelair I don't have any older release, so maybe it's something they fixed in the more recent DVD's?
