They will be operating two flights only in February to Brussels, or are starting twice weekly service to BRU from next month, from what I gather.

Qatar Airways Cargo thus has just announced the exploitation, as from the end February, of two weekly flights cargo liner in Airbus A300-600F of 45 capacity tons at the beginning of Brussels towards Doha, with then of many connections towards Africa or Asia. In same time, Ethiopian Airlines comes to announce the concluding of a contract with World Airways in order to exploit two DC-10F of 70 capacity tons between Brussels and Addis Ababa.

I gues that from the translation we can make up that they will start service to Brussels with 2 weekly flights.

Ethiopian has also reached an agreement with World to have 2 DC-10's operate between BRU and ADD.

Could this be the possible start of having pax flights between BRU and Doha?

With Ethiopian Cargo the same situation. They started first with cargo flights and after some months they started also pax flights.

Enfin, everything step by step. Its good news for Brucargo having this new connection. But main question: what's the source about this??

[Atlantis]

I don't received an answer on my question: what's the source about this rumour?

BRU is at this moment NO destination for Qatar. They announced 6 or 7 new cargo destinations which they started 1 February with their second A300. Those are in Asia, Middle East and Africa. NO single one in Europe.

With that information, I received from Zygene: GSA for Qatar, I don't see them come at the end of this month to BRU.

I saw the same topic on other sites but no one is giving a source. So it seems everyone is taking over this rumour.
