Meanwhile, the alert was apparently moot. Better this than the other way around.

Dank u wel, meneer !

At least one Belgian state news channel reports that Egyptian authorities have requested their airlines to avoid Iranian airspace, because of possible "military exercises". Cfr. https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2024/08/07/iran-vraagt-burgerluchtvaartmaatschappijen-om-zijn-luchtruim-te/ Not wan...

Agreed to all that, @luchtzak. Still, if the current SN management were unable to make a profit from a flight almost fully occupied, I am sure aunty Lufthansa would soon find "others and betters".

why continue looking in the same direction?

Because that's where the money is, and the ambition for "sowing where one has not yet reaped"?

I vaguely remember a story of a SABENA captain who flew that positioning EBAW-EBBR as his very last flight before retirement. The take-off must have been especially spctacular...

making much nose.

... and a bit of ears, too

Several sources expect TUIfly to stop its entire flight operation in ANR until October. Curious if this is correct. Confirmed in state media: https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2024/07/29/tui-fly-verplaatst-alle-vluchten-vanuit-deurne-naar-zaventem-tot/ It is however not entirely correct to state that th...

What then is the sense of Pilots cannot order more fuel than the max capacity of the tanks That is the phrase that apparently misled me: it implies that pilots do order a quantity of fuel. BTW my compliments for your strong memory, but I no longer fly, not even ultralights, for medical reasons. And ...

And so apparently the pilots had taken too much fuel. Pilots cannot order more fuel than the max capacity of the tanks. Obviously. Be careful when making such statements. I do not think our friend Established02 has any need of that kind of warnings. Also, it seems obvious to me that he is well awar...

Within (western) Europe. Say a max of 600 or so kilometres from Milano, as the bird flies. Or in other words: any destination that is also reachable, in a reasonable travel time, by train. Brussels, Paris, Berlin, Barcelona, Praha, Zurich, Wien, ... you name them.

Hm, as confused as ever, apparently...

I was not aware of the recent investments in the Linate airport (thanks for info!), these will surely push the closure further back in time.
Even so, excuse me for sticking to my point: Linate is a short-haul airport, and short-haul air travel in Europe is on its way out.

As I expected, it is now in the local news: https://24.sapo.pt/atualidade/artigos/fogo-em-ansiao-lavra-desde-as-1708-e-conta-com-sete-meios-aereos I had quite misjudged the location, though. After all I cannot be blamed, I think, I have only been living round here for two years now. (the picture in ...

LIN is a short-haul airport. Short-haul air travel within Europe is going downslope, like it or leave it. Sooner or later LIN is going to close, or at best be limited to general aviation. Same as happened in Berlin.

It has been a long time since I posted, but some of you might remember I left Belgium after retirement, and bought a house in Portugal, where I could afford one. This evening, I was agreebly surprised to spot two consecutive overflights by CL-215 waterbombers, at quite low altitude. I thought they w...

I have a screenshot to upload but apparently it can only be uploaded if I first store it somewhere on the www - I have no such storage available at present.
Again, I no longer care very much. Thanks for your concern, though.

I do not want more information.
I do not have more questions.
I want to rid of the filth.

Sorry, no more interest.
