Not sure if this is the right place for this remark but lets see. Today 7 departures to the East Asia. All departed with huge delays (between 1 and 2 hours), just as some SN flights to Africa and a couple of America bound long hauls. I suppose this is not just coincidence but there was some issue ...

It was a "slotkeeper" for their unused slots at LHR for the TLV flights.
They won't return with those flights to BRU.

A bit off topic but I didn't input the change of course :-)

I guess with Pier A West it would be possible to make the current T gates area permanently long-haul/non-Schengen for use by all Star Alliance airlines and dedicate pier B to all other carriers for long-haul/non-Schengen traffic.


It's ...

The economic mission to Los Angeles and San Francisco will be from 4 till 12 October 2025. Also mobility is part of it.


The mission to Brazil brought nothing to BRU while many Belgian companies do excellent business there.

Mission to India so far nothing for BRU.
Belgian companies again ...

OO-SFJ scheduled to fly to Chateauroux tomorrow, as SN9901, pesumably for paint job.

789 yes
788 no...

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

They go back to 3 based aircraft for summer

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 ...

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.

So in Brussels there is no possibility to use 2 bridges for one plane?


Jesus Maria, can you just think for a ...

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 ...

OE-LAL and OE-LAJ apparently will be OO-LAL and OO-LAJ soon

We will know it soon. In the next comings days or weeks they gonna decide/announce it.
