1) Our first week
The first week of Flanders Airlines is finished. With 21 pilots we already have performed more than 48 flight hours!
2) Flanders Airlines and Bombardier
Due to demand by our passengers, the global market and our pilots, we have ordered two Bombardier turboprops, namely two Dash 8 Q200.
The Q200 is a modern, quick, quiet and robust turboprop: a truly leader in his class! In the Flanders Airlines configuration there is room for 37 passengers (Premium Flanders and Flanders class).
One Q200 will replace the ERJ-135 on the Amsterdam route. The other one will perform less occupied flights to Luxembourg, London City and Groningen. An updated "High Summer 2006" timetable will appear in June, with Nice, Liverpool and Manchester as new destinations!
The two planes (OO-FAL "City of Hasselt" and OO-FAK "City of Leuven") will join the Flanders Airlines fleet in the beginning of June.
3) Special Eurovision flights
In May the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 take place in Athens. The Flanders Sun Airbus 321, OO-FSU, has been painted in a special Eurovision livery. It will perform some extra flights from and to Athens. Timetable and livery available on the Flanders Airlines website!
