Re: Diversions from around the globe (medical, technical, ...) 2021
DHL UK Boeing 757-200F (G-DHKZ, built 1992) returned to land safely at Leipzig Airport (EDDP), Germany, after the main cargo door opened in soon after take-off from runway 26L. https://t.co/TJjIBsyqDX?amp=1 https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EuHzwAwXUAIKpqs?format=jpg&name=900x900 How can this happen?...

one would almost think they read the Air Belgium thread before creating this article.SpottertechYT wrote: ↑13 Feb 2021, 14:35 https://www.freightwaves.com/news/ocean ... cargo-unit
According to this article Air Belgium Cargo will probably operate with Airbus A330-200F aircraft!

Re: Air Belgium in 2021
CMA owns or leases the aircraft and fills them with freight. Air Belgium puts them on their AOC and takes care of the operational side of things. This way CMA has no need to go thru the cumbersome process of acquiring their own Belgian AOC (they invested in a french airline group already) and the ad...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021
Mouth masks, clothes,... or any other boxed item that is not to bulky can be loaded in the cabin. They only need to make sure it can not shift during the flight.
Largest boxes I've seen loaded in a cabin were +/- 50cmx50cmx120cm. And even perishables (flowers) are loaded that way.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021
Yes, the flight to Freetown last week was a full-cargo flight, carrying medical equipment from "Medecin sans frontière" What I meant is "I assume it's only belly cargo". I don't think SN has any convertible A330. it only depends on if they like to take a risk on damaging the sea...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2021
Why not? NH, VS, SK, 3U, UA,.... all fly passenger planes with cargo only to BRU and make money on it (I hope).
And even if they do not make a lot of money on it, they keep at least some crew up-to-date in regards of flying hour requirements.

Re: Boeing 747-8 news
And for freight, the 747 is still used a lot. Agreed, the 747-8I and its passenger-to-cargo converts can still keep up a few years, but what after that? Not only for routes with a lot of cargo, but also for big cargo. How would you transport an engine for an aircraft AOG if there are no planes to f...

Re: Swissport Belgium nv/sa bankruptcy
In a way you should be happy there are 6, this means they are more eager to handle a plane than just sitting inside waiting for their assigned plane coming in. It could also be that some of them are there to experience, first hand, the how and what the airline wants during turn-around. Hands-on expe...

Re: Brucargo 2020: cargo routes & news
The number of cargo flights, via pax planes, slowly start to decrease already this month. Also the number of full freighters. With soon the opening of the European borders and next month the external borders, it is not interesting anymore to fly those extra flights. In a couple of days it can be ag...

Re: Swissport Belgium nv/sa bankruptcy
Now what ? Aviapartner handling all flights this summer ? Hi, no this cannot be bcs of the current license. As far as I know, there is no limit on how much % of flights a handler can handle. So why would that be impossible? As Swissport is defunct all handling agreements have been ended also. As th...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020
Actually select BRU staff, so people working for the airport, such as airport inspection, facility technical staff, are trained and authorised to operate the bridge. For a few flights per day, they can operate the bridge, it's not like they are swamped with work. The staff that is trained from BRU ...

Re: 2020 Ostend-Bruges Airport (OST/EBOS) latest news
Why is Qatar Cargo flying to OST? They already have extensive operations in LGG, and to a smaller extent in AMS and BRU. Nothing against OST, just trying to understand the rationale when consolidating at one of the other three airports would (I'd think) be operationally easier, especially if it is ...
