It’s rare but they use them to BRU.
Last Sunday the flight to SZX was with a 788

Anyone who heared something?
That would be exceptional. They downgraded for this year bcs they want to focuss on the own market.
That would be a blood field

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Looking at the schematics, it looks like the furthest narrowbody is blocked by the other one. How does pushback work then? It's not blocked, pushback can be done as always. Ok, thx for the info. I assume that narrowbody stands are up to 36m wingspan. If so, what's the minimum wingtip clearance? Ind...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

There are two different types of MARS gates, both allow the choice between 1 wide body or 2 narrow body aircraft, but only one type allows using both bridges on a wide body.

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Last Monday, Brussels Airport opened 4 new airbridges at Pier B. Those are called MARS, Multiple Aircraft Ramp System. This allows to handle 2 wide body, or 4 narrow body or 1 wide body and 2 narrow body at the same location. This is a huge step forward in the connectivity and Hub functions of the ...

Re: BRU: monthly pax, cargo and movement figures

Also PVG with HU started only 18/06.
These 7 flights in June can't make a difference imo.
But it's true, the figures are still to low due to several reasons.
