OAG just uses the flightlog data?RoMax wrote:Whahaha, I think OAG lacks some data on some LCC's or something like that (which is not to be bad about LCC's, not at all, it's simply a fact that many leading organisations lack data on LCC's because they are often not cooperating with them, even IATA).
100% of all flights departing and arriving within 15 minutes of their shedule, no way.
no need for IATA data ??crew1990 wrote: Brussels Airport area (not really french-speaker-friendly)

Excuse me for laughingcathay belgium wrote:Okay... Lille will be a base then..whatever... planes will be retract like in other airports happend,where I don't know just guessed... everybody knows the basic of what happens when someone gets into FR pockets...
Based planes will be dropped for a few months, or bases will be closed, in CRL some planes will be reshuffeled, I can imagine some planes will be get out of CRL in winter as a reaction, but they don't say then that they will park some more planes like 80 in last winter
You get the point.. maybe they can pay belgocontrol with that money
I don't like it either but so it goes...

CRL will have a few planes less in winter ... like every year .... for the last 4 years. Maybe get your facts right first. CRL is amongst, if not THE, highest income base in the whole network. There might be a few changes, but don't expect too many.No, CRL is the number 2 base, it's bigger that Dublin, much more destinations.crlhub wrote:MOL will act like for MRS,leave some planes and then comme back,eventhough MRS did never regain his former base(but there is a labour trial pending between the French social security and FR).But CRL is not MRS,CRL is THE biggest money maker of FR on the continent and his third base after London and Dublin if I'm not wrong?
IN Germany they still have this tax : 40€ on long-haul flight, 8€ on short ones.cathay belgium wrote:Hi,
Don't they know FR rules ?
If FR would differ to other german,dutch,french bases, what would be the impact ?
Altough I don't agree with FR view on some things this can't without impact.
A 3,- eur tax a flight,means 6 euros return whats already a very big part of the FR ticket...
Don't know if the Walloons know that there is something like MST in the neighbourhood desperate waiting for something to happen like this ..
The Dutch and the germon government did the same but in the end.. they cancelled it again..
So will see what will happen, hope the big investments in CRL aren't wasted ...
Guess next year the Flemish will introduce a similar thing on F/C and Y tickets in BRU...
It was mentioned before, and 3 billion search for DiRupo in 2014 will lead to this..
Maybe DeWever as an aviation-SV lover
the door is open now..
Once more a hobby like aviation is again a bit more expensive then it already is...
Luckily I don't smoke...

RYANAIR TO CUT CHARLEROI TRAFFIC BY 17% IF
WALLONIAN GOVT INTRODUCE E3 TRAVEL TAX
1M PASSENGERS & 1,000 JOBS AT RISK AT CHARLEROI
Ryanair, Europe's only ultra-low cost carrier (ULCC), today (17 Jul) warned it will be forced to cut its Brussels Charleroi traffic by 17% if the Wallonian Govt proceeds with plans to introduce a E3 travel tax, which will result in the loss of over 1m passengers p.a. and 1,000* jobs at Charleroi Airport.
Ryanair, the largest airline in Wallonia, said the planned E3 tax (due for introduction on 1st Jan 2014 if passed by the Belgian Govt) would cause the same level of damage that similar taxes have done in other EU countries, including Ireland, where passenger numbers at Irish airports have fallen by over 24%, from 30m p.a. in 2007 to less than 23m in 2012.
The Belgian Govt scrapped plans for a similar tax in 2008 and since then Ryanair's traffic at Brussels Charleroi has more than doubled, from 2.5m to over 6m passengers in 2013. A passenger tax introduced in the Netherlands in 2008 was scrapped by the Dutch Government in 2009 after it cost them over E1bn in lost revenue, as passengers switched to cheaper airports in neighbouring countries. Denmark has also scrapped its passenger tax and subsequently returned to growth.
Ryanair warned the planned tax will inevitably lead to huge traffic and job cuts at Charleroi, as passengers will now avoid Wallonia and switch to Zaventem instead. Ryanair has written to the Wallonian Government seeking an urgent meeting.
Ryanair's Robin Kiely said:
"Ryanair will cut its traffic at Brussels Charleroi by at least 17% should this self-destructive E3 travel tax be introduced. This will cause over 1 million Ryanair passengers and at least 1,000* local jobs to be lost at Charleroi in 2014.
This tax will also make Wallonia uncompetitive and will result in passengers switching to other, cheaper airports. Studies from across Europe have clearly demonstrated the damage caused to traffic and jobs by passenger taxes, especially in Germany, Ireland and the UK, and we are calling on both the Wallonian and Belgian Governments to scrap these plans or risk irrevocably damaging traffic and jobs.
Other EU countries have returned to growth by scrapping tourist taxes and cutting airport charges, in some cases to zero, and it is insane for Wallonia to shoot itself and Charleroi in the foot by ignoring these trends."
* ACI research confirms up to 1,000 'on-site' jobs are sustained at international airports for every 1m passengers
