Transavia flights Lille-Dakar as from 30OCT24. LIL>DSS on Wednesdays and Saturdays. DSS-LIL on Tuesdays and Fridays, hence probably triangular with Sal (Espargos) Cape Verde. Nonstop in both directions! Thanks for the info. So TO8070 leaves LIL on Saturday at 0855, arriving DSS at 1410. The aircraf...

Not all flights are cancelled tomorrow?! If you look to Brussels Airport website some departures and arrivals. A cancellation of all flights has never been communicated! “No departing passenger flights”, doesn’t prevent some airlines from flying their nigh stopping aircraft back home without passen...

So adding next year 1 A333 and 4 Air Baltic planes would let the fleet grow to 49.

The Air Baltics won’t enter the fleet, it’s a wet lease.

Transavia is for AF/KLM what Eurowings and Discover/Edelweiss are for the LH brands. P2P offering including some ethno and leisure outside of the hubs and leisure from the hubs. Eurowings does this as well, just that their new bases are PMI, Prague and a small presence in Stockholm. If one is looki...

Ryanair even have a Learjet on hot standby to transport crew, mechanics and spare parts around the network in order to minimise disruption.

It may be a necessary commercial decision to address a chronic reliability issue, but it is not "normal," hence what did they do wrong to get to that point? Or do they have extremely bad luck? Aircraft do break down and do have incidents, you don’t seem to understand nor accept this. A sp...

Does anyone of you have specific questions they like to be seen answered ? Are they really planning on having an A330 hot spare at all times once the next aircraft arrives, and if so, what are they doing wrong? May I suggest Luchtzak NOT to ask this question in order to not make a fool of themselve...

It may be the case that for the coming years the net grwoth on short haul wouold come via Wet Leases from Air Baltic, as they are recruting for BRU and likely they would become a strategic partner for LH.

You mean the latest LH tool in the race to the bottom of employment conditions for crew.

From the video of the crash... Strange way of crashing, no? Looks like a helicopter crash...

A textbook example of a flat spin.

I remember those flights but it was with 737-200 making much noise.

And a Top Gun style tower fly-by when the 737 returned empty to BRU after the early LHR.

Also, it seems obvious to me that he is well aware: the max. capacity can only be added when fuel tanks are completely empty. Which ought to occur rarely, only after certain maintenance procedures. Refuelling big birds is different from putting some gas in your microlight, Jan! Pilots don’t add a c...

I think that TUIfly Belgium is more prone to technical problems than other airlines, and I cannot explain it, other than the fact they are essentially flying with Boeing aircraft, which a recent study showed more subject to such incidents. You report issues on five aircraft of which three are Embra...

It must be serious! Why can't she be towed away if there is a problem?

Because the problem doesn’t allow towing before maintenance took place, just saying!

It’s always easy to say behind a computer screen at home, without knowing anything else than media information…

Not that easy when the screen turns blue…

I don't mind flying ITA between LIN BRU vv. on a larger plane, but what bothers me is the decrease in frequencies to LIN. Why is the decrease in frequency bothering you? ITA and SN are flying more or less the same schedule, so less flights doesn’t mean less flexibility. Also, with a loco operating ...

As a consequence, SN will stop flying to Linate and concentrate on Malpensa. And here troll TiTa has a point: SN slots, on one of their most profitable European routes, are being sacrificed to facilitate the takeover of ATI by LH! Probably other group members are making even more money on LIN-route...
