Touroperators planning a group tour keep in mind that the first day of travel is finished when their scheduled arrival is at 18h15 and there will be a passport control. Last bag in the bus, last person onboard the bus means: leave airport at 20h. So all you can do after arrival, is a shuttle to the...

the way he responds to questions says it all .. it's all about LH and LX and all the rest will have to go and being transformed into EW. Does this come as a shock? not really as it would have been expected when selling to LH, they're already shifting flights to MUC (because of FRA being full) and s...

Maybe the China-Europe market is their main target. But they sell tickets from Charleroi to Hong Kong, they make publicity for those flights, they have an online booking tool for those flights. So they do want them - but they don't get them yet. Sure, they would like to see the outbound first fligh...

Certainly not the Ilyushin-18, its engines look completely different from those on the picture.

Their main target is to fly Chinese tourists to Europe at dirt cheap prices. So before flying them back to China, they first need to get them in Europe. I don't think that they will ever transport many Belgian travelers to HK, especially considering that they operate from CRL and that CX is serving...

Is it already known where is it parked - and when it will depart?

And, if I may make so bold, why this obsession with flags? To me that is 19th century thinking. In the 20th century, the USAF marked their bomber planes with sexy women - who look equally good (or bad) in either direction. In the 21st century, SNBA mark some of their planes with purpose-designed re...

Have you ever noticed the American flag painted on the side of the airplane as you were boarding? Perhaps it stopped you in your tracks and made you think, “Why is the flag backwards?” Never wasted a thought on this - because I never boarded an US-registered airplane from the right side... :lol: On...

Austrian announced that - similarly to other airlines of the Lufthansa Group (LH, SN, LX) - it will also introduce "Economy Light" tickets on long-haul routes which will only include hand luggage, snacks and drinks on board, but no checked-in luggage or pre-reserved seats (although both of...

I hadn't seen that one coming when I went to bed last night. So Austria has taken over Italy and replaced its Industry minister.

Exactly. Please guys, stay on topic and don't mix Austrian Airlines' news with Italian politics. Thanks.

Had the pleasure of flying back from a nice long weekend in Gran Canaria yesterday. The route LPA-BRU was also affected heavily by the strike: the flight took a bit longer... much longer, it seemed.

Written off The aircraft is still flying, just under a different registration. Hence, it’s not written off, it’s just cancelled in the Belgian register. The former OO-ABC is now CS-EFG: https://www.planelogger.com/Aircraft/Registration/CS-EFG/871644 Are the two other Air Belgium A340s already in th...

ATW: Lufthansa subsidiary Austrian Airlines does not have strong enough finances to renew its long-haul fleet in the near future, Lufthansa chairman & CEO Carsten Spohr told ATW. “Ten percent of our [Lufthansa Group] aircraft is based in Austria, but only 4% of the group’s profit is generated t...

Maybe I should have used the word 'stronger' instead of 'much stronger', but my argument that Belgium could have had a much larger flag carrier regardless of it's size still stands. Look at global coverage i.e. with Austrian and Swiss both flying to cities as Los Angeles, Tokyo, Peking and Shanghai...

Belgium is too small for a strong Belgian airline. Austria, Switzerland and The Netherlands are small too, but they have much stronger airlines than Belgium. Thus it's too easy to blame it on the size of the country. Look at KL, the country is only a bit bigger yet they created the largest airport ...

Brussels Airlines just wrote over Facebook: "We regret that, despite a substantial offer made by the Brussels Airlines management, the pilot union delegation has called for strike actions as of May 11th. Between today and May 11th, negotiations between the Brussels Airlines management and the u...

The question which comes to my mind immediately is : why not "give" two or three flights per week to SN frop BRU to CPT ? That seems to be the obvious thing to do, even to the cost of a stop in Cologne on the way! And as an alternate, Joburg wouldn't be bad either for SN. No, it's not obv...

More of the existing Loft will be upgraded in phase 2 once the extensions are fully operational. The whole sanitary area will be refurbished together with new finishing of the corridor towards it (will be same style as the new sanitary area of the extensions), the common nap box area will be replac...
