Latest news : The French government and the regional authorities in Lille would be favourable to a large French-Belgian airport in Chièvres. This would completely change my initial opinion. Let's see things realistically: 1) Zaventem can still accept a large number of additional flights. But it cou...

Yes, indeed.

Indeed, in France they serve small French mussels called Bouchot. Not as good as the ones from Zealand.

It was indeed better to have a lawsuit in California, where jurys are known for granting huge amounts of compensatory and punitive damages, than in Taiwan. Whereas for 'post traumatic stress syndrome', I am sure that a lot of distinguished psychiatrists have found something that the ordinary citizen...

I agree with you that Léon is one of the best mussels places to have in Brussels (sometimes their French franchises have a lower quality). However I have once been disappointted at their Heysel branch. It was not during the mussels season (months with an R in their name), and they thus had to rely o...

Now flight SN203 to Dakar and Banjul is mentioned as operated by an A333 and delayed from 12:25 to 15:20. Flight SN471 to Entebbe and Niarobi is delayed from 10:40 to 11:00 and operated by an A333. Flight SN353 to Yaounde and Kinshasa is scheduled on time at 11:00 and operated by A333. Everything se...

Well, OAG just makes a poll among the subscribers to the OAG, who are predominantly American. An American bias, certainly. BTW OAG is owned by Elsevier, and is thus Dutch.

I think my answer is simple as well: in aviation you have luchtzakken and zweefteven. I am the luchtzak (airbag) ;-) For our English-speaking members, would you mind translating 'zweefteven' as well? (not sure Muisje will appreciate...) I hate to think at what the site might have been if it had bee...

My Sabena identity when I was working there.
Simple, isnt't it?

Yeah, what was the meaning of BIVA?

And you also changed your avatar!

A Lufthansa franchise, flying a/o to Stuttgart with ATR42.

I will use them next Tuesday to come back from STR.

Chris, OS352 20Sep std 11.00, aircraft 736 !

.. and operated by a former Sabena captain with former Sabena cockpit crews.

Pity that they had to go abroad to find a job. But bright that they could go abroad to create their own new jobs.

With or without codeshare, that route is doomed, in my opinion. Only SN could eventually benefit from it, as a feeder to its African flights. The BA booking engine mentions the LGW-BRU flights (and cheap fares, take note!) But the news in french has not been updated; Le service entre Bruxelles et Lo...

That's not what OAG says:

Best Airport

Winner: Singapore Changi
Nominees: Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Dubai International, Hong Kong International, Pittsburgh International

Two low-fare companies in Ireland! That promises some competition! A competition that Aer Lingus will loose because of its heavy structure in front of Ryanair.

Lyulka wrote:Horrible color, horrible location!! Just a copy of a Hapag-Lloyd aircraft!

Correct! That means that if Sobelair goes bankrupt (which nobody hopes), the plane can be transferred to Hapag Lloyd with a minimal paint job.

Yesterday was her last day at TUI. Today she goes for an interview elsewhere (still in Lanzarote). And she got her C4 Spanish style.

Three remarks:
1) It's funny to see an AF plane with a German registration.
2) I like the Frontier scheme more, with a different animal on the rudder of each plane.
3) It would indeed be a nice afftition to SN BA's fleet
