If the magnetic north keeps moving, even if it's only a few degrees, can it move so much in the very long term that runway 25/07 would eventually become runway 16/34 (a 90degree change compared to the 'original' magnetic today) even the runway will still point in the same direction ??

Besides the news broadcasts which will undoubtedly speak about the 10 years anniversary, does anyone know about other programs on TV today (extra news, documentaries, etc) concerning the collapse of Sabena?

Why would an airline buy a 747-8 if Boeing has the 777-300ER available (roughly same capacity?)? Surely twinjet consumes less fuel and pilots can fly on the smaller 777-200 as well...

just wondering

Anyone have a link to a website where you can see all longhaul destinations with flights to/from BRU in the past?

I remember Asiana, Thai, Singapore Airlines, Air Mauritius, AirLanka, VASP, etc etc used to fly into BRU,

Can anyone add to this list?

Some sources say that Jet Airways will have cheap fares on the BRU - EWR/YYZ flights, but I thought only European and American carriers had traffic rights between BRU and the US/Canada? n(for example Ethihad cannot sell tickets pn the BRU-YYZ stretch... How come Jet Airways can??

Interested in any ...

Hello,

Just wondering, because I really want to do this, do you guys know of airlines (world wide) who accept pilots with no flying experience at all for a sponsored training? I know AF does it, but I am one year too old for them, also CX, but you have to be a resident in Hong Kong to be able to ...

Let's hope they come up with a better name than SN Brussels Airlines... that horrible name must have been the worse marketing move in aviation history! Sabena would indeed be good, after all it stands for Belgian aviation in Europe and beyond. If that name returns, many people abroad won't even miss ...

tks...

Do they (EY) already have a city office or something in BRU? I searched on the net but didn't find anything.... Is someone on this board maybe going to work for them at BRU when they start up?? Let me know

Hello all, maybe one of you can tell me if this is true or not, in a dutch book called 'Moderne verkeersvliegtuigen' (=modern passenger planes) I read that the 777 can retract its wingtips in order to make its wingspan smaller at crowded airports. I have seen many 777's at many busy airports, but ...

Actually, it was time for the 744 combi. It's not too big, KLM operates the biggest fleet of 744 combi's in the world, and they have about the same pax capacity as the A333 currently operated by SN, but in addition to that they can take 6 cargo pallets. SN would have no trouble filling an aircraft ...

There have been rumours about SN BA wanting to acquire Boeing 747-400 pax/cargo planes for use on the African routes, and this possibility was indeed investigated (I can assure you from a reliable source) but rejected because the training costs for crews etc would be too high compared to the ...

Hello,

It's always the case with first flights, the gear isn't retracted immediately like after a normal take off, we just saw it with the A380. What is the reason for doing so?
