According to Aviapartner at EBOS, SV will start the 22nd of july, not the 19th. Another website sais the same : http://users.pandora.be/OstendAirport/e ... lights.htm

Don't know who's correct (Q707 or Aviapartner), but we'll soon find out.
SV would fly 6 times per week with 747F, but the first week it would be a MD-11F.

Source was AP Brussels of one month ago, but if AP Ostend says July 22 it will probably be fixed on that date.
Strange that also the MD11 will go to EBOS, perhaps SV is considering to move everything and defintively to EBOS, who knows

They pulled out the md-11 probably because they want to continue to fly it with full load. If the MD-11 would still be flying to BRU it would most probably be weight restricted....

Anyway, those will be 5 looong months without SV

OST will receive only the Riyadh-JFK flights (fuel stops). The other SV flights between Riyadh/Jeddah and BRU will stay at BRU.

SVA-905 arrival:

Reg: HZ-AND
Time of Arrival: 15.55

The first arrival was a B747, but I wasn't there. Somewhere who filmed the arrival and departure told me.

Yes, the 747 came in around 1230 - 1300, cause I saw it landing when I had my lunchbreak at work ...
But from what I heard, the 747-flight yesterday was it's last for some time, as the aircraft would go into a C-check after this flight.
Can anyone tell me how long such a check takes ???
