Re: [PICS] BRU EU-Africa summit 2014

Thanks Yannick and HVS89 - some wonderful pics there (and truly exotic vintage birds - not in the least the Niger, Burkina Faso and Swaziland government planes) ... Is there a list available of which African countries attended the summit and what aircraft brought them there ?

BRU 25/03/2014 : ECAir (?) @ Lufthansa Technik

Hi, while getting my sandwich at Delhaize near Brucargo, I think I've seen a 737 (not sure though) in ECair livery parked near Lufthansa Technik ? Does anyone have more information ?

Re: CGP - 25/10/2013

Truly exotic pics ... on a side note : is Mongolian flying to Chittagong ? Can't really see a reason for that : small airline, virtually no links between Bangladesh and Mongolia, if they'd fly to Bangladesh they would opt for the capital Dhaka (and I bet it isn't a tourist charter either as I can't ...

Re: BRU 18/09/13 FlyGeorgia plane @ Lufthansa Technik

Thanks... not a good start for this airline, I would say. It seems their fleet consists of only 2 narrow body Airbus, so the grounding of 50% of their fleet surely won't have had a positive effect on their ability to generate revenue.

BRU 18/09/13 FlyGeorgia plane @ Lufthansa Technik

Hi, I think I've seen an A319 or A320 of FlyGeorgia parked @ Lufthansa Technik about an hour ago (while getting my sandwich at Delhaize ;)). Is Lufthansa Technik doing their maintenance? Or is there something else going on (as a couple of weeks ago, someone posted something here about unpaid bills)....

Re: Qatar & ramadan

Thank you, dear all (minus 1 :roll: ) forum members for your comments. It seems from BATAVIA's post that where QR does have these restrictions, EY does not apply them.
