Bcube who will bring new customers, I am told.

Will be interesting to see if Egyptair will switch to Bcube soon.
If they do then its the end of ASO as we know it.
Pax handling on such a small airport isn't profitable.
It will be up to EGIS to provide passengerhandling.

And another presscoverage of the inaugural flight of POBEDA to Ostend - Bruges .
https://www.hln.be/regio/oostende/video ... ~a7dae0e4/

Summary:
182 incoming passengers and 105 outgoing on the first flight. Next saturday : 150 expected on both incoming and outgoing flights. Pobeda is very pleased with the initial response on this new route and already thinking to increase frequency to 6 flights a week! Well, at the least the start is not bad. Nice for OST-airport.

Maybe POBEDA should consider also flights to/fm Saint-Petersburg?

As from 1st June 2019, Pobeda will reduce Moscow-Eindhoven from 4 per week to 2 per week.

[ostair]

As from 25/05, Pobeda will reduce Moscou-Oostende(Brugge) from 3 a week to 2 a week.
The Thursday flight will be cancelled until 15-09.
After 15/09 they will be going back to 3 flights a week.

This is due to the start of the summerseason wlth seasonal flights to popular holiday resorts.

So no panic, figures are still excellent for this new route.

[TLspotting]

They should step by step increase until they get the daily flight, I think

BCUBE officials were at the airport today to announce their plans.
Looking at the (nearly) brandnew groundequipmentl they have, some AP(OAS) staff will be jealous...lol

If you call a good news the arrival of an outdated, noisy and fuel guzzling aircraft to an airport, just for the sake of pleasing the spotters, there's a problem somewhere...

I think you should read mopa9000's message again, because you obviously didn't pay attention to what he actually wrote.
