Re: Aviapartner lost handling license at BRU to Swissport

once again the pax are taken hostage ... while they got nothing to do with this. Most of Aviapartner employees will be taken over by Swissport... yet without knowing the exact details they start a strike. The strikers should all get sacked without a job offer from Swissport :evil: 200 % correct ! P...

15h00 : Casper shows some 4 incoming flights in holding (BA from LHR, IB from MAD, SN from MAD, PGT from ...).

The IB from MAD even seems to be diverting to AMS and the SN from MAD seems to be diverting to LGG.

Interesting allegation. And how -exactly- do you measure the return on investment ? Just for the 2 variety programs on Flemish tv, they've got 6,5 minutes prime time: 4 minutes on VTM (kind of RTL) and 2,5 minutes on VRT (counterpart RTBf). I haven't counted the number of times that "Thomas Co...

Re: SN flight to TLS left without baggage !

Please go back to the very first post here, and read one of the many articles about this story. Brussels Airlines says it's force majeure - overmacht. It is not . A strike by a private contractor is never "hand of God" (apparently the English term for force majeure / overmacht). A strike b...

Re: SN flight to TLS left without baggage !

Some selfish passengers don't understand that the interest of the airline have precedence over their own comfort. Allow me to disagree. Going on a 4-day breakaway with luggage is not "comfort": it's basic. Also, if the interest of an airline differs from the interest of the passengers, th...

Re: Abnormalities at BRU / ANR / LGG / CRL / OST 2011

Strange notices on BrusselsAirport.be for SN2815 BRU-PRG (Wednesday evening):

Departure SN2815 at 22h10
Arrival SN2815R at 22h29 (BRU-BRU?)
Departure SN2815A at 23h23
Departure SN2815B at 01h04

Does this R (2815R) means the aircraft returned to Brussels?

OO-VLE Cityjet Fokker 50 heavily damaged at RTM Rotterdam

It seems that the landing gear of an empty Fokker-50 failed whilst the aircraft was just parked on the tarmac. Dutch news sites report that just one engineer was on board, and that an airport rep tells the aircraft OO-VLE is a total written off. Source : Rijnmond TV http://www.rijnmond.nl/Homepage/N...
