I saw this under Frederic's signature in a private mail. Did he steel it from you

This looks like the best slogan to me

I already questioned Luchtzak about it. He was going to check when he has some free time between his flights and his moving

What is the origin of OO-RMV? It was not there during the old Sabena days.

I have flown twice to LPA, but I could not tell you where is the best spotting place. It is a wide open airport and it shouod not be too difficult to find a nice spot.

The busiest days are Saturday and Sunday.

@Dave: Y: full fare economy C: full fare business F: full fare first All the other codes (Q, ....) are all discounted fares (I'm not 100% sure, but I think that almost all other codes are discounted Economy fares - is business for example always booked in C or does business also have other codes?) ...

Even flights above 4000 are codeshares. From 4000 to 4999, code-shares with SWISS (Basel and Zurich).

From 8000 to 8999, codeshares with AA.

It seems that Sobelair reintroduced an old colour scheme rather than the last one inherited from Sabena!

<t>Lufthansa announced beginning July 1, 2003 its daily non-stop service from Denver to Frankfurt will be served by a Boeing 747-400 aircraft, increasing the available capacity by some 60%. The flight - the only non-stop service from Denver to continental Europe - was previously served by an Airbus ...

President Jacques Chirac opened the 45th aeronautics and space show at Le Bourget this morning 14 June at 10.00. It will remain open until 22 June, but in a low mood due to the crisis in the whole airline sector.

It is really sad: SQ had been flying to Brussels since 1979 (!) and has been the longest serving long-haul airline in BRU. I also remember when it was possible to fly BRU-JFK on SQ. BRU and AMS were alternatively stopovers on the SIN-JFK route. SQ had the first 744s in BRU. This was a damn competit...

Gulf Air has taken a half-dozen 767-300ERs, fitted them totally with coach seats, and deployed them out of Abu Dhabi to Nepal, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India and such. The new carrier is dubbed “Gulf Traveller.”

It has been tough to get to Berne from Paris since Swiss dropped the route. Now, an new airline called InterSky flies the route from Charles De Gaulle.

<t>Italian police have discovered and safely removed explosives aboard an Alitalia Express ATR-42 at Ancona airport in eastern Italy after receiving an anonymous tip-off. The small package of explosives, which had been tucked under one of the seats, was destroyed in a controlled blast after it was f...

I'm amazed that SQ also does not codeshare anymore on the LH flights from and to FRA. Wouldn't it be logic that they still allow you to buy tickets to SIN on an SQ code via FRA? Well, it is exactly the reverse that happens: all the flights from BRU to FRA are LH and only LH, and the SQ flights from...

The last SLR flight (Q7 701) will leave Brussels on 30 June and return from Johannesburg on 1 July (Q7 702). Sobelair has just announced the conditions for an exchange or refund of tickets. Holders of a ticket issued before 7 June can exchange their ticket against a KLM ticket by paying a service fe...

Jim, You are right: in a website that has now disappeared ( http://www.crosswinds.net/~berlinspotter/airlines/sabena.htm ), I found this: Bemalung Zur Begrüßung der Airbus Single-Aisle-Familie, die zum Februar 1999 erwartet wurde, ließ Sabena ihre Bemalung von Lila Design erneut überarbeiten transla...
