Here is perhaps some insight into what's happening. Feel free to comment if you agree or disagree: It's important to remember that the Belgian government does not care about Brussels Airlines or about aviation in Belgium. All that each politician cares about is themselves and your votes to boost the...

The 747 landed on runway 08L at Leipzig, came to a stand still on the runway and waited for fire services to inspect the engine. The aircraft is now cleared to proceed to it's assigned parking position

Break time for the crew, autopilot - engaged

Luchtzak, you're right, the Kalitta levelled at 7,000 feet. What I mean is that only about 10% of all birdstrikes are above 3,500 feet altitude and the explosions occurred at around 5 to 6,000 feet.
The aircraft is now on it's way to Brussels

Meise, Merchtem, Opwijk as it was climbing out. The engine was shut down around Opwijk when the explosions stopped. It shows similarities to a birdstrike however the aircraft was already quite high, although not impossible for it to still be a birdstrike it might indicate that something else may be ...

the aircraft is holding (fuel dumping) in front of the Belgian coast over the north sea

Kalitta 747-400 N740CK is dumping fuel at this moment. I heard multiple successive explosions as the aircraft past overhead.

Emirates A380 flight EK 183 landing in Brussels expected tomorrow Thursday April 19 at 13:25 Local Time, departure (as speedbird1 mentioned) is at 16:55 Local Time. The a/c is scheduled to be A6-EUG "Real Madrid"

There's an additional order from Philippine Airlines for 2 additional Boeing 777-300ER's through Intrepid Aviation (Leasing). It will be the 7th and 8th Boeing 777-300ER in the PAL fleet. Deliveries are expected in the last quarter of 2016 and the first half of 2017. An announcement will also be mad...

Burning fuel to weigh lighter to land can not be the problem anymore. He's been circling for too long. He should be able to land right now. There must be another problem.

He's finally coming in to land now.

Today's US Airways Brussels-Philadelphia Boeing 757 flight was over the Atlantic and has turned back. At this moment he has been holding for at least 16 times, circling southwest of the city of Aalst.
Does anyone know what's happening? Technical, a passenger with fever or other reason?

Thanks stratofreighter, I will look into it.

It's very clever of the Belgian government to give subsidies DIRECTLY to the airlines concerned, knowing very well that the European Commission would not allow it and force the airlines to refund the money. This way the government can not say that they didn't do anything while at the same time the m...

I have a friend that is interested to rent a table at this airline convention. How much is it? It's not written anywhere.

Let me get this straight: Third world countries are buying new, more fuel efficient aircraft and getting rid of their older aircraft where they end up in a western world country like....... Belgium? Brussels Airlines can't even lease new aircraft, much less buy them. They have the oldest A330's on t...

Germany's Lufthansa Cargo and AeroLogic have already been banned.

Lufthansa Cargo has not received clearance to overfly Russian territory connecting 11 of it's services between Europe and the Far-East.

AeroLogic has so far been refused 30 flights.

Also the regularly scheduled BRU-Dakar flight, SN205 was only about 1 hour behind SN2014 so in case of technical problems with OO-SFO, 205 (A330-300 OO-SFN) could easily replace SN2014 (VIP flights go first) :D Of course, many problems are solved because of the airport being a regular stop for SN, h...

Also the Spanish team has arrived in Brazil with Iberia A330-300 EC-LYF "Llevamos la ilusion de todo un pais"
