I saw it on RTBF Monday night.

The VEX website gives a schedule of their appearance on Belgian TV.

I would like to see a pic! Anyone?

And don't forget that MS has much lower operating costs than SN.

<t>BritAir, an Air France subsidiary, has announced Monday it would resume the Strasbourg-London route on 20 October. BritAir abandoned that route during the spring because of competition of Ryanair.<br/> <br/> This battle has at least had a favourable result for customers: the French airline reduce...

<t>The Association of European Airlines has released traffic data for the week ending September 14th.

You have never seen a 07 landing because there is no ILS on either 07L or R, and because planes would have to fly over central Brussels at low altitude, which has never and will never be accepted.

That would also have been a cultural shock, and it would have ended like the KLM/Alitalia love story

After reading a few chapters of all these documents, I come to the following conclusions (some of which I already expressed in the previous thread on the same topic: https://www.aviation24.be/ftopic1114.html 1) Bert is insane. By the way, did you know that all his plan is inspired and directed by a ...

They will send Bert to hell :finger:

Could your destination have been this one?

Name: Aioun El Atrouss
IATA: IEO
ICAO: GQNA
Aioun El Atrouss, Mauritania
Latitude: 16°42' 40" N
Longitude: 9°38' 16" W
Elevation: 951
Runway Length: 5245 Feet

That's the only one I could find. And no scheduled airline flies there.

Are you sure of the name of the destination? I looked in the OAG and they don't find any airport with that name.

We'll see about that . I'm very sure I'll get there.

Are you a VLM doll?

777,

Before merging AF and KL, maybe you could merge your topic with the one I started on the same subject: https://www.aviation24.be/ftopic1457.html

Also their regional fleets are different: Fokkers here, ERJs and CRJs there.

Look at a previous discussion on that topic: https://www.aviation24.be/postt1114.html See here an article from LLB dated 7 September 2003 Vingt millions pour disperser les vols L'usage des 4 pistes comme le prévoit Bert Anciaux suppose de coûteux travaux. Le médiateur lui a fait des suggestions conc...

True, SkyStef, I forgot that we had such a section on this website. I'll look at it more often now.

Very nice report, Comet, as usual. For as far as I remember, most airlines ask that the blinds of the windows be closed during the films. But usually a steward will ask you politely if you would mind closing it. Several years ago, when I saw that NZ was foing to its home country westward (via LAX) r...

I have just submitted today's press release about the Air France KLM merger to Luchtzak's latest news. Meanwhile, I have posted the French version of the news item here: https://www.aviation24.be/ftopic1459.html I am waiting for your reactions. This morning at Euro News I heard the head of Air Franc...

Superbe, et d'un réalisme étonnant!

A quand de nouveaux modèles?
