@Frederic: it was operating for TMA

It's part of the diabolo project. They will extend the train station at Brussels National Aiport to the north and build a tunnel under rwy 25R and Brucargo for the railway track to Antwerp. In the long term, it's possible that Brucargo gets his own passanger train station. The railway track between ...

The A300-line is open for UPS A300F's. That is the last order, so they probably will close the line when the UPS freighters are finished.

Here's another spectacular picture of a landing with an off centered nose landing gear.

I suggest that you send the approach shots to the airport authorities so they can help investing the cause of the incident.

Congratulations Robin!
Have fun with your new camera.

It's rescheduled: 13.25 RB433 Damascus via Aleppo and Beirut

An update about Island Express and Zulu Air Source: http://www.sundaytimes.co.za/2004/02/01/business/companies/comp02.asp Yet another two airlines plan to launch operations in South Africa this year, both entering the big league with Boeing 747s. Island Express has bought two Boeing 747SPs from SA A...

Miami Air were divertions from Frankfurt. These Miami Air Flights are not divertions from frankfurt ! The are fuelstops when they wly from the US to the middle East of vice versa. They do indeed also do fuelstops in FRA, but the ones we get at EBOS are scheduled fuelstops. Greetz, CanonFreak The po...

Miami Air were divertions from Frankfurt.
Transavia is flying the SLR routes.

I hope they have thought about that. I remember Hydro always took off with full fuel capacity to Lagos as the fuel is dirty expensive over there.

Wonder how a fully loaden B747-200 will depart to Lagos when it's +25°C in summer on a 8200feet long runway... guess they will switch to EBOS soon.

Hydro moved to BRU because they flew for DHL to Lagos. Sometimes up to 80% of their freight was DHL freight. During the last months they flew indeed a lot of Race Cargo freight and it was likely that they would have returned to OST.

I agree with Q707. Guess MK is flying most of the freight to Lagos and Western Africa out of OST.

Crew info. No internet sources. Luchtzak.be gets the 'primeur'

It's official now. Hydro closed down for good.

Some crew members have found a job in the new company Island Express. Route structure for the ex SA 747SP's isn't clear at the moment but they will probably be registered in Sao Tome. Wonder if we will see them in Europe.

Don't think we have to expect one of their SP's in BRU.

The all white An-12 is probably operated by Air Sofia

Got the info from the crew.

Some ex Hydro-crewmembers are busy setting up a new airline with two SP's (ex SA) and a 742F (probably ex LH). Can't post any further info.

It's not a replacement for Hydro, but a divertion from AMS i guess. There were two divertions from AMS at OST also (DAS-air and Kalitta).

Hydro ceased operations so we won't see any replacement unfortunately.
