Today, December 29th 2005, Charleroi airport had again to close because of fog. It's the 8th time (!!) in 3 months. 4 planes landed in Liège. Rest was canceled (no take off). Ryanair announced a few times ago that they will expand in charleroi, with new destinations ... but this will increase the nu...

I think brussels will suffer more than charleroi. Flights from charleroi are usually much cheaper and everybody tend to know that. I think that those people who like cheap flights are the people who didnt travel before because it was too expensive, so those people want as cheap as possible, no matte...

planes that took off before knowing they could not land in charleroi landed in liege. planes that knew it was impossible to land in charleroi _before_ take off were canceled. Means FR is only using LGG when its absolutely necessary and will not use LGG everytime there is fog for 100% flights. Why ? ...

They got what they paid for ... i dont like this. Ryanair gives the minimum, but when everything is ok, i'm quite happy with what I have. It's very nice for many people to travel for cheap. But i do think that a 45 min transfer by bus when it's foggy _should be_ part of the minimum service. It's som...

forced because they can take off, but they cannot land in charleroi :) (I think they finally did, late this afternoon (from LGG to CRL)) it seems clear that they didnt want to transfert all passengers from charleroi to liege. Dont know why though. As you said before, it's only 45 min by bus, and a v...

Liege is often receiving unexpected flights when it's foggy, thanks to its modern installation (ILS cat III i think).

Well, ... actually, the railway network in belgium is quite good. And they are improving it. I know they are making a new connection between brussels airport and the line to leuven and liege (which is highspeed) ... this could connect liege airport and brussels aiport in like 40 min, both for humans...

And that's why some airports, coming out of nowhere, are becoming important. Many regional airports for low costs flights and also liege airport for cargo (already 9th european, and they are wishing to be 5th). Belgium is just as big as a big international city anyway. 50 km for antwerp and charlero...
