Flemish, Walloon, Brussels... I realy don't care, I'm a Belgian citizen!!

:!: Guy's read the Chairman of VEX Pressrelease:

TriStar,

I'm just a normal taxpayer interested in aviation and wondering where the hell my tax contribution is going to....

I'm more than careful....
I never stated topic to be true.
I wanna find out if this rumour is true or not! And if it is true, will anybody have the guts to bring it out ...

Well, I hope to get some confirmation posted here, but to my oppinion nobody will have the guts to do so. This is a very sensitive toppic. Nevertheless, I hope we''ll find out the truth soon.

Dustbiter

That's just what I wanna find out.
Hope more members will post their reaction.
The rumor I stated was confirmed to me by several people (insiders).

Shure the loads are higher, I wrote it only by example...
The question is still, how come there are so many noshow (short and longhaul) and who can affort ???? Or are these some kind of hidden subsidies, knowing that gorvernemental susidies are forbidden by EU?

Dustbiter

I think the question is very clear !!!!!

[The 5 billion BEF is a risk loan of the government ]

1) VEX never received 5 billion BEF from whatever governement.
2) When has this lone need to be paid back by SNBA?
3) Rumors go round about bookings for a 80% load, finaly only 35% show up... Quite a lot noshows! Quenstion: Who has the money to ...

Everybody is talking about Ryanair.... but what about SNBA? They receive more subsidies than whatever airline. Everybody keeps his mouth shut: governement, press, etc... Doesn't anybody dare talking about it?
