NCL and BRS are not at capacity limit and everyone can get slots free of charge. LGW has some free slots at certain times.

100% agree. But you should send them to their supervisory authority - Service public fédéral Mobilité et Transports/Federale Overheidsdienst Mobiliteit en Vervoer. Or to the roof organisation of all national equivalents of FAA and CAA - the EASA.

Bear in mind that a part of the international tfaffic from/to the United States is closed for free competion due to the Fly America Act. All publically paid tickets must be issued on US carriers only, if possible.

Just to give you one more example for the Sabena brand recognition. Today the "Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung" wrote: "Nachdem der Lufthansa die Übernahme der früheren Sabena sowie der Austrian Airlines gelungen ist...". They do not even mention the B-name, because it is relatively unknown. They just call ...

Euroflyer, you are just too emotional and you want to create an almighty monster out of Lufthansa. Here are the facts:

During the first half of 2008 the major airports in Germany had 91.7 million passangers, 25,7 million (= 28.1%) of them flew LCC.

Note that earlier the European Commission approved the purchase of VLM without any conditions. It was the British Office of Fair Trade who ordered to install a competitor on that route.

Nobody is going to play russian roulette and merge with British Airways - until they come out with the truth and say how big their pension fond deficit has become. For now, only British Airways know wheather they just have a financial problem or they are at the verge of bankruptcy. We might have to ...

There are tons of old Sabena timetables on the web. Go to http://timetableimages.com/ttimages/complete/ and scroll down to the directory sn27. If you don't like the FTP directory, you can also go to the HTML (=real internet) version http://timetableimages.com - but browsing there is less efficient ...

This is ridiculous! Jet4you has just to complain to the European Commission and they will send a warning notice to Belgium. Not a tiny chance for this sentence to stay.

This is the proof: http://ec.europa.eu/transport/air_porta ... cco_en.htm

I am sorry to contradict your nice idea, but nowadays only very few routes could economically support combi planes. While most passengers want to go nonstop on longhaul flights, the vast majority of cargo flights operates with intermediate landings to refill. This is usually cheaper and often offers ...

Their sub-sub-contractor has assembled several 737 fuselages with fasteners ("nutplates") that are missing the ani-oxidation cadmium coating.

Only true at first glance. Originally, 7 frames D-ABTA..F+H have been built and deliverd as 747-430M. They have been flying around in all-passenger configurations for some years now, but actually they are combis.

An inernet promotion company (see link below) suggests that the following destinations would have a significant traffic potential from Brussels:

Boston

Detroit
Houston
Los Angeles
Miami
San Francisco
Vancouver

Meanwhile, SAS and Norwegian have promised to help the victoms of Sterling and take them home for free. (English versions of this news should come online later today).

Yet as long there is no marker, you could not proove an illegal abuse of tax-reduced or tax-free fuel. Could be some new fashionable additive. From liquified coal or organic matter or whatever.

Of course this would be an illigal tax avoidence in many countries. But how will they catch you? Jet fuel has no marker - so they can not determine anything on the spot.

Yes. The guy who was cought stealing jet fuel from a JetBlue plane a few months ago. There was a thread on an other, bigger forum (I don't know whether it is allowed to mention the name). He claimed he was short of heating oil at home and could not afford the high price.

Thank you for bringing up this intersting topic. But what a dumb, moronic and isolationist article! How is this an American problem? Firtst, they should have looked up WAAS and EGNOS in the wikipedia and followed the various links. Than they would have realised that all VOR beams and radars will be ...
