Are you sure those flights from Antwerp are profitable?!

[AAI]

with 1 or 2 flights a day,
i have my doubts,
but with 4 flights or more, i 'm sure !

Time to put Antwerp Airport to sleep. ANR doesn't make any sense.

You're taking risks there; expect serious reactions!

I have always said only 2 airports really make sense in Belgium: Brussels Airport and Liege Airport for cargo.

Principally CRL doesn't make economic sense either, but the airport has 10,5 million passengers a year and creates a lot of jobs in a region where jobs are rather scarse. So it's acceptable.

ANR only has 300k passengers a year and the region isn't exactly low on jobs.

That's the economic side of it. A second side is the practical side. Practically the 300k passengers of Antwerp can easily be handled by BRU, either normal pax or general aviation. The 10,5 million passengers from CRL would put a big strain on BRU's handling and are the type of passengers BRU should consider as an extra, not the type to go after.

I follow you.
As for Charleroi, I still don't understand how the shareholders of that airport manage to operate?

[SLM]

I don't understand why the Port of Antwerp doesn't show more interest in Antwerp airport.

what happened with the C212 N620AR and CN235 N10180 ?
