Very very nice looking site! And they have a picture gallery! (ok, rather empty, but it looks promising, that A319 is already on my desktop!)

Just a tiny little remark: the arrived/departed bar is not too clearly visible. But I'm sure that'll get resolved

Congrats Brussels Airport!!!! :mexwave:

Anybody knows what that Airport Online Club is for? I tried to register, but got stuck at the security code, I typed in the letters in the box, but apparently the site doesn't accept it. ** edit: switched from firefox to explorer, now it works

No aircraft types visible anymore on live arrivals & departures pages.

A disaster for spotters

If you click on a destination, it shows you the timetable + what A/C is normally used to serve it... suppose it's a start

Nice design, I hope they add AC types

I love the timetable and the illustration for every destination, Raouche for Beirut. But my curiousity was aroused by the listing of Amman. Could it be RJ is coming back? Apparently not yet, they are listing flights to Amman via CDG, etc.

Indeed, I know, and a lot of spotters know the usual types by heart.

But I mean, when a flight is upgraded/downgraded to another (special) aircraft type ; when a flight is operated by another airline, etc etc

I have mailed them about this issue, I'm curious for their answer...

Regards, Robin Bamps.

Wel... maybe they just want to keep it a surprise

Anyway... think about this: all airport sites always have a category "to and from the airport", yet that category never has "by plane" :jump:

Personally I find the beige/yellowish colours a little dull. I prefereed the dark blue.

I fully agree. Not only for spotters but also for experienced travellers looking for the type of aircraft in order to select a good seat.

In the meantime, the www.biac.be address has been disabled!

The missing aircraft types was the first thing that was bothering me about the site.
Further I see some pictures wit (SN)BA and Virgin, and on the main page a Lufthansa...
Where are our blue birds?...
Looks professional though, but I hope it will be upgraded soon with photos and aircraft types.

Goodevening,
Very, very diisapointed.
The main page shows an ETIHAD 330 landing. Why not a picture of the home carrier ?
Furthermore, the anguish for every spotter : no A/C types anymore displayed.

I suggest that all spotters who have the same feeling about not mentioning the aircraft types anymore ,contact Brussels Airport via the contact form on their website :

http://www.brusselsairport.be/en/contact/contactOpinion

As they seem to pay attention for spotters (f.e. the page on the new website), maybe we can make a statement alltogether and see the aircraft types added (like in the past) as a result of our "action".

I really love the design and functionality of the website! I will maybe contact them about the fact that a/c types are not shown anymore. It shouldn't be too much trouble to ad them.
