Brussels Airlines threatens to leave Belgium
Brussels Airlines, Belgium's biggest carrier, threatened to relocate if the government did not offer tax breaks to help it compete against Ireland (Xetra: A0Q8L3 - news) 's low cost giant Ryanair, De Morgen daily reported on Wednesday.
"Ideally, we'd like to stay in Belgium, but this can't go on," Brussels Airlines chief executive Bernard Gustin told officials according to the paper.
"If you are not ready to do something against the distortion in competition, we'll go looking for another headquarters," he told the officials.
The paper reported that the carrier, a spin-off of the now defunct Sabena Airlines, was exploring a move to Luxembourg or Ireland, destinations that offered fiscal advantages to employees, notably pilots.
The paper added that the request met with reluctance by the government of Prime Minister Elio di Rupo who is resisting tax breaks to individual companies while the country struggles to implement austerity reforms.
Brussels Airlines, in which Germany's Lufthansa (Xetra: 823212 - news) holds a 45-percent stake, employs 3,300 people and operates 300 flights a day to 70 destinations from its hub at Brussels airport.
Ryanair uses a regional base in Charleroi, 40 kilometres (25 miles) from the Belgian capital.
Last week the European Commission said it had extended the scope of an investigation opened in December 2002 into advantages granted Ryanair when it set up operations at Charleroi.
In 2004, the Commission cleared some public support from Belgian authorities in favour of Ryanair but ordered the company to repay other aid deemed incompatible -- only for an EU court in 2008 to rule that the Commission had not followed procedures correctly.
Ryanair has frequently raised complaints of state aid granted to other European airlines to EU competition bosses.

Luchthaven Deurne start in najaar ondertunneling startbaan
In het najaar wordt in Deurne gestart met de ondertunneling van de Krijgsbaan, waardoor de aanpalende luchthaven van Antwerpen in regel zou moeten kunnen blijven met de internationale voorschriften. De Vlaamse regering heeft het bestek voor de ondertunneling goedgekeurd, waardoor de aanbestedingsprocedure kan worden opgestart. Volgens internationale voorschriften moet de luchthaven van Antwerpen in het verlengde van de startbaan een veiligheidsstrook aanleggen, maar dat wordt bemoeilijkt door de aanwezigheid van de drukke Krijgsbaan. Het project is al jarenlang voorwerp van felle discussies. Eerdere plannen om een halfingegraven omleiding aan te leggen, werden door de Raad van State afgewezen. Nu zal er op het traject een tunnel van ongeveer 420 meter worden aangelegd. De ondertunneling past ook in de plannen van het Masterplan dat de verkeersproblemen rond Antwerpen moet proberen aan te pakken.

A modern day mission: Lancaster bomber crew prepares for action 70 years on in remarkable set of airfield pictures | Mail Online
Posing tentatively in their uniforms, at first glance they could be a Lancaster Bomber crew preparing for a daring war-time mission.
But these photos were not taken 70 years ago, but this week at the Lincolnshire Aviation Heritage Centre - the former Lancaster bomber base at RAF East Kirkby.
Admirers of the war-time planes stepped back in time to relive the sights, sounds and smells of the famous bomber which helped destroy the Nazi war machine.
They dressed up in original uniforms and sat in the cockpit of 'Just Jane', one of only three Lancasters left in the world capable of flying....

Solar Impulse – Supporters Program – MARCH 28, 2012
| ||||||||||
Dear Supporters, At last we can announce the destination of the 2012 missions: the Kingdom of Morocco! This spring, Solar Impulse will attempt another world first by flying more than 2,500 km, without using a drop of fuel, and landing in Morocco. This trip will coincide with the launch of construction in the region of Ouarzazate of the largest thermo-solar power plant ever built. In May or June, Solar Impulse will take off on this trip, its longest ever, flying over the Pyrenees and the Mediterranean. Bertrand Piccard and André Borschberg, who will have a 48 hour flight ahead of them, will change places on board during a planned technical stopover in Spain. This long duration flight will act as a dress rehearsal for the round-the-world flight in 2014. It will also allow the Mission team do some final training in the procedures of cooperating with international airports, integrating the prototype HB-SIA into air traffic and providing the logistics for servicing the airplane. We will of course let you know the exact departure date of this new mission as soon as it is known. Like the European flights, we will be transmitting this mission live on our website. The whole Solar Impulse team thank you for your support and are delighted to share their adventures with you first! The Solar Impulse Team ___________________________________
Chers Supporters,
___________________________________Nous sommes très heureux de pouvoir enfin vous annoncer la destination des Missions 2012 : Le Royaume du Maroc ! Solar Impulse tentera ce printemps, en première mondiale, de parcourir sans une goutte de carburant plus de 2'500km pour atterrir au Maroc. Ce voyage coïncidera avec le lancement de la construction dans la région de Ouarzazate de la plus grande centrale thermo-solaire jamais construite à ce jour. Au courant du mois de mai ou de juin, Solar Impulse s'envolera pour son plus long périple en survolant les Pyrénées et la Méditerranée. Bertrand Piccard et André Borschberg qui devront assurer un vol de 48 heures, se relayeront à bord à l'occasion d'une escale technique prévue en Espagne. Ce vol de longue durée fera office de répétition générale avant le tour du monde de 2014. Il permettra à l'équipe Mission d'entrainer une dernière fois la coopération avec les aéroports internationaux, l'intégration du prototype HB-SIA dans le trafic aérien et la logistique de maintenance. Nous vous tiendrons évidemment informés de la date exacte de départ pour cette nouvelle mission dès que celle-ci sera connue. Comme pour les vols Européens nous transmettrons en direct cette mission sur notre site internet. Toute l'équipe de Solar Impulse vous remercie de votre soutien et se réjouit de partager ses aventures en premier avec vous ! L'équipe Solar Impulse Liebe Supporters, Wir freuen uns sehr, dass wir Ihnen endlich das Flugziel der Missionen 2012 mitteilen können: Wir fliegen ins Königreich Marokko! Solar Impulse wird in diesem Frühjahr den Versuch unternehmen, als Weltpremiere 2500 km ohne einen einzigen Tropfen Treibstoff zurückzulegen, um anschliessend in Marokko zu landen. Diese Reise wird mit dem Beginn der Bauarbeiten für eine Solaranlage in der Umgebung Ouarzazate zusammenfallen. Dabei handelt es sich um das grösste thermische Solarkraftwerk, das je errichtet wurde. Im Mai oder Juni wird Solar Impulse zu seiner bislang längsten Reise starten und die Pyrenäen und das Mittelmeer überfliegen. Bertrand Piccard und André Borschberg, die einen 48-stündigen Flug absolvieren müssen, werden sich bei einer technischen Zwischenlandung, die in Spanien erfolgen soll, an Bord ablösen. Dieser Langzeitflug wird als allgemeine Repetition vor der Weltumrundung im Jahr 2014 dienen. Er gibt dem Mission-Team die Möglichkeit, ein letztes Mal die Zusammenarbeit mit den internationalen Flughäfen, die Integration des Prototyps HB-SIA in den Luftverkehr und die Wartungslogistik zu trainieren. Selbstverständlich werden wir Ihnen das genaue Abflugdatum für diese neue Mission mitteilen, sobald es bekannt ist. Wie bei den Europaflügen werden wir auf unserer Website über den Webcast live über diese Mission berichten. Das ganze Solar Impulse Team dankt Ihnen für Ihre Unterstützung und freut sich, seine Abenteuer mit Ihnen zu teilen. Das Solar Impulse Team
