Hope you will be able to reactivate it soon (and with the correct indications). It was a nice feature, immediately available.

I just saw in one of the many production list that SN Brussels is currently operating the second largest Avro/BAe-fleet in the world! That's a nice listing for a Belgium company When Sabena placed the order, it was the largest order ever for Avros (32 planes at once). And I don't think it has ever ...

In an article and an interview in today's La Libre Belgique Aldo Vastapane declared that the situation of Sobelair is better, although they will still loose some 10 million € by the end of the year. He refused the offer of DSF and will continue the current lease until it expires. He also declares th...

Never seen this livery anymore in recent times. Although it was very nice...

For spotting, but not for travelling -)

It's true that sometimes the weather disappears from the Luchtzak website. The icons are there, but they indicate that Brussels is not available and a temperature of -18°C. Und suddenly the right weather appears again...

What have you done to Bill Gates?

Great Thanks But every time I log out, I log in again some time later: that's one more visitor to the site, no?

Another suggestion: I may be dreaming again, but it would be very useful to have a spelling check and corrector when you post messages in the forum or submit news. Is that feasible?

Maybe Dave would then write with instead of whit

Bart, It is easy to log in: the command always appears in highly visible places (top meny and right column). It is more difficult to log out: you have to look at a command in small print at the bottom of the main menu of the left column. Logout is something that you must do daily, it is one of the m...

I've seen that Blogs have been added both inthe top line meny and in the left column main menu. Great :!: But how can we use it in an efficient way? Otherwise it will be only an additional feature with little interest. I think for example that any action by a member, be it a news submission, a post ...

Nice report, Bart Though shouldn't it better fit in the airline experience section of the forum

Swiss International Air Lines Thursday said it has reached an agreement with its cabin-crew unions about the a cost-reduction scheme aimed at safeguarding the unprofitable airline's existence. Swiss, which aims to cut around 3,000 staff or 30% of its overall work force, said the cabin-crew unions ac...

There are two other helicopters in the back of that picture. Are you going to send another new message for each one of them?

Although I have worked for the UN, I cannot help you on this one

Further information : Aldo Vastapane has declared that he preferred continuing with the current contract until its expiration in 20 months and than lease some other aircraft at a much lower cost, rather than accepting DSF's proposal. A general assembly of shareholders will decide Friday whether to ...

I look a little bit more into the Top 25 now that it can be accessed from the menu on top of the page. I am a little bit surprised by this: 25 most active authors · 1: luchtzak - (705 news published) · 2: beco - (330 news published) · 3: Sabena_690 - (107 news published) Most active authors, really?...

there is a rumour going on that DSF doesn't want to lower the prices to let Sobelair go bankrupt. After that DSF will buy Sobelair or will create a new charter-company at Brussels. Very unlikely. I read thoroughly the website of DSF. Because of adverse conditions in the aeronautical sector, they ar...

I have put some information on DSF in the "cool websites" section: https://www.aviation24.be/modules.php?name ... =3793#3793

With Sobelair's lease of two B767s from DSF, there is a lot of talk about this German company. The full name is Deutsche Structured Finance GmbH. It has a uninformative website at http://www.dsf-fra.de/. You will only learn that it owns 23 aircraft. It is a subsidiary of Aaerial Bank AG. Aeronautics...

The night bird (night Bart :lol: ) suffers from insomnia in the Swedish midnight sun :!: Some details about the Sobelair/DSF discussions Sobelair did not reach an agreement with about a reduction of leasing costs of two B767s. There was a proposal to go from 650,000 tot 485,000 dollars, but no agree...
