Also this aircraft would be a very machine to operate regional routes in Africa. Like always, Russians are building A/C needing very poor ground assistance and in the most cases unpaved airports. It also would be interesting for Airbus to enter the Regional jet segment of the market. Let us hope thi...

Very nice job, finally somebody thinking cargo.
Almost all jumbo aircrafts at EBBR are freighters.
I believe that in the near future we will have some more cargo flights at EBBR.
Again thanks for the nice job

I believe that Senna and Fangio were the two finest formula 1 drivers from all times. They were both carismatic figures and were loved by everybody. They also both helped to make formula 1 popular. My mother is Brazilian but I believe that if Senna was still living, the actual formula 1 leader would...

I believe you can catch Singapore Airlines B747, Saudia MD11 or B747, Eva Air MD, Cathay B747.
All these are cargo A/C.
Good luck

The most of the time, the people having arguments against airports or aircrafts do not know anything about them.
I wonder why we are making so much noice about not interesting people. Let them scream in their fields and let us continue to speak about interesting aviation news.

Just for info, the TEA B720 came from Aer Lingus.
At the closing of BIAS, DAT tried to operate the two DC8 left by BIAS, this was a big mistake and a few months later, the two DC8 were back to KLM. Transpomair operated one of them later on to USA.

For the story, To start with the two DC8, BIAS bvba started a new company called BIAS International NV. CMB, AMI, DAT and Tracto had 51% and the previous owner Mr.Van Antwerpen 49%. When BIAS stopped their operation, the two DC8 were given to DAT. They operate some flights to the south. DAT boss was...

Just for the story. The BIAS DC6 operated a lot of flights to New York. In those days at BIAS everybody was helping each other in the different jobs, so I had the chance to flight as stewart of the New York flights. Starting in Brussels to Shannon, Reykjavik, Gander, New York, one night rest and the...

You are right, I forgot but one of the Linair(BIAS) DC3 had an accident in Steenokkerzeel, while parked in stormy weather, one of them broke out, turned 180° and hitted one other DC3 parked next to the one. Some of these DC3 had a cargo door. For the information, BIAS also had a DC4, the first Compa...

Dear Lien, I started with BIAS when they were operating two DC6. We were allready flying to the sunny destinations like PMI, VCE, etc. We than sold one DC6 and added one Caravelle VI-R, R was for reverse SN was operating the type III without reverse, so many times we flew for SN when it was bad weat...

All DC3 from Linair were brought back to Belgium and were parked for months at the end of the airport, Steenokkerzeel, where BIAS had his technical Dept. All DC3 were sold together with some of DAT to USA to operate night courier flights. I believe some are still in operation. I worked with BIAS til...

I believe the logic is that the Belgian army allready had "O" as registration and they simply double the letter to indicate the civilian aircrafts.

If I remember well, this BAC 1-11 was the property of Al mansour, the sun of Akram Oger, a Saudi miliardaire.
This A/C was equiped with extra fuel tanks to have the possibility to cross the north atlantic.

I do not really think DHL would relocate to Liege. The fact is they want to double their trafic out of Brussels. This means twice the actual number of night flights.Why do they not open a cargo airport in Chievres, like Hahn, they would not need the billions, cargo equipment is less expensive than f...

The Middle East airlines are not managed like the western airlines. Also, they do not have any taxes on the salaries or social security. Most of the Middle East airlines are managed by professionals europeans or austrilians and some indians. Take the Emirates figures on a year basis they book an inc...

It is great that SNBA made profit and I do hope this will continue. Everybody is speaking about the profit on pax flights, but I would like to know the proportion of this profit generated by the cargo to and from Africa. I do not have any figures but I am convince that the most important part of the...

Come up everybody, picture nbr 2 is now leading, just move and vote, for bnr 3 of course.

The figures are not only valid for Asian carriers. Take EK, their increase in cargo traffic for yhe last 12 months was about 36%... As soon Qatar Airways will start his full cargo operation, we will observe the same figures. The first airline to have a separate profit center for cargo was UTA. In th...

It is official, RJ is stopping his BRU operation. All employees received their C4 doc, they will terminate end of october.On the other side, EK is more and more picking up the pax and cargo. They add two weekly cargo B747 to FRA in addition to their existing weekly flight from LGG. Qatar Airways wil...
