Re: Brussels Airlines future and financial perspective

Belgian companies should get priority in Belgium... Seems logic to me. France, holland, UK, Ireland, Italy, Spain etc.. Would all do the same. In what a stupid world are we living in if that is not possible?

Re: Terror attacks: explosions in the departure hall of Brussels Airport!

I agree with you, but there have been terrorist attacks almost everywhere now, if not terrorists another loco does horrific things (cfr. Oslo). I think nowadays most of the people cope better and want to show the world these foolish attacks don't make us stay inside! Some will never fly again, that ...

Re: What is happening with Brussels Airlines

How if you cannot even acces the airport? People were able to get their cars yesterday... My god, what contingency plan are you thinking of, knowing every car is checked at the roundabout in Zaventem, and access near the airport is allowed at a very slow pace? And this is not imposed by Bru Air,but ...

Re: Terror attacks: explosions in the departure hall of Brussels Airport!

What will the options be if it turns out the terminal has structural issues after the attack? Any idea what the possibilities are?
How long can an international airport remain closed?

Re: Terror attacks: explosions in the departure hall of Brussels Airport!

That is good news in these harsh time! Let's pick up our lives and show those evil things (those are not human beings for me) that we will not bend!

Hopefully EVERY airline can soon start it's operations out of BRU again!

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Spare parts are harder and harder to find. A technical problem in outstation results almost the whole time in cancelled flights, because no licensed engineers are available at that station.
