Repositioning of BRU operations to other airports after attacks

[sn26567]

it also seems that all Iberia flights are not more diverted to LGG... Probably because of low load factor or huge delay?

At 09:00 this morning, Iberia tweeted: "Brussels airport will remain close tomorrow Tuesday 29/03. We will keep flying from/to #Liege."

Not out of FRA, but saturday, only 20 pax in the LGG -> TLV.

Brussels Airport remains closed. All Finnair 30 March flights cancelled, as well as BRU-HEL AY816 31.3.

Test flight after maintenance/repair ? As far as I can see on FR24 OO-SNE didn't fly since 19/03.

Test flight of new aircraft for SN.

The Belgian Federal Public Service of Mobility -through De Tijd- stresses that even in case of rerouting due to acts of terror, the airline must provide all of its affected passengers with free transport between their original point of departure/arrival and the new one, wherever that may be.

All Belgian airlines are honoring this responsibility in full, but according to De Tijd, ryanair isn't.

Disappointing to learn that once again, minimum legal standards can apparently not be honored by everybody in this industry.

Initially, Jetairfly was also dropping passengers landing in Ostend at the Wetteren petrol station on the E40. Fortunately they changed their mind.

Update: All Ryanair Brussels Zaventem flights up to/including the 1st April will operate to/from Brussels Charleroi.

Also de VRT is now running a story about your rights as a passenger under the given circumstances:

Seems indeed like not all the big players in Belgium are following the European rules!

I was booked on a Transavia return flight to Munich today. The flight was cancelled of course, and I had the choice between being reimbursed or rebooked on an flight within 14 days. I will thus fly on 5 April, one week from today, if....

All Jetairfly flights from/to BRU are diverted to OST until Sunday 10/04. Details on jetairfly.com

"Funny" today, an Airbus from SN from LGG to BRU crossing an airbus from SN from... BRU to LGG, probably for some maintenance ?

IBE2834 expected in about 20 minutes

[sn26567]

All Jetairfly flights from/to BRU are diverted to OST until Sunday 10/04. Details on jetairfly.com

Iberia never stopped in fact.

Great video from LGG

I was surprised to read that SN stopped flying to LHR, but this is compensated by the fact that BA is now also flying to LGG (and then of course, Cityjet continues flights between LCY and ANR, with probably a high load factor)

FR is giving passengers a chance to choose a way of travel that is convenient for them, not for the airline and re-imburse their costs

Due to the on-going closure of Brussels Airport, Air Serbia flights JU300/301 and JU304/305 are cancelled up to and including 4 April.

Went to the TAP-desk here at Pinto Martins airport in Fortaleza, as the information on their site is rather unexisting about the BRU-situation. Their Brazil-callcenter is very busy and the terminal is only 10 minutes away so...

The lady was't really helpful. "In the system the flight LIS-BRU for Sunday april 2 still exists and is even for sale so you will find out on the day of your journey."

Now let us be realistic. The chance that TP will operate at BRU this weekend is about what... 5 to 10%?
If I would end up in OST or maybe LGG, okay. But if I will be put on a plane to ORY or AMS I need to know it in advance (arrange someone for pick-up or maybe book a Thalys ticket).

Is dencend communication that hard?

Tomorrow morning I am gonna try the Brussels call center. It will cost me, but need to know...
