Government support for Brussels Airlines
Belgium's socialist-led
government has decided to release 20 million euros in support for the
country's troubled aviation sector. Belgian flag carrier Brussels
Airlines, a subsidiary of German's Lufthansa, has been in financial
straits for a while. Operators Jetairfly and Thomas Cook Airlines will
also be able to benefit from the government aid package.
Mobility Secretary Melchior Wathelet
(Francophone Christian democrat) had drawn up a plan that would envisage
30 million euros worth of support for the Belgian aviation sector. The
aid would partly be given in the form of tax cuts for airline companies.
Belgium's Inner Cabinet decided that only 20 million could be afforded. The aid package includes help with staff training.
The government says it's acknowledging that Belgian companies
experience unfair competition from carriers like Ryanair that are based
overseas in countries where airline operators enjoy a more beneficial
tax regime.
Economy Minister Johan Vande Lanotte (Flemish socialist): "We're
giving support ahead of European measures. The EU says that a level
playing field should be created in aviation within a decade. In
anticipation of this I think it's a good idea to provide Belgian
support."

Flying with the "Kubinka Diamond" display team's Su-27, Mig-29 fighter jets
The
following video was filmed with a GoPro HD Hero2 camera installed on
the tail of a Mig-29 and inside the cockpit of a Su-27 of the so-called
"Kubinka Diamond", the Russian Air Force display team made by four
Flankers of the "Russian Knights" and and five Fulcrums of the «Strizhi»
(Swifts).
Both aerobatic teams are based at Kubinka airbase, near Moscow.
According
to the author of the video, Artur Sarkisyan, the camera filmed the
aerobatic maneuvers sustained g-forces up to 6 g at a speed of 1,000
km/h.GoPro video from the tail of the MiG29 and Su27 cockpit from Artur Sarkisyan on Vimeo.
Le Soir : civil aviation : Ryanair reste à Charleroi et flingue Brussels Airlines
La compagnie ne s’installera pas à Bruxelles en cas de disparition de Brussels Airlines. Ryanair en a également profité pour dénoncer les tarifs élevés pratiqués par Brussels Airlines et demande au gouvernement de ne pas aider la compagnie.

Brussels Airport: decrease in passenger numbers compensated by long haul traffic
Passengers In November Brussels Airport welcomed 1,351,000 passengers, down 1.9% on the corresponding period last year. This decrease is largely due to a general decline in the economy. Contrary to the overall slightly downward trend we notice a steady general increase of intercontinental traffic, in particular on the routes operated by Brussels Airlines and other Star Alliance carriers. Low fare equally continues to grow strongly.
Movements In November, Brussels Airport
registered 19,000 flights, a decrease by 4.6% on pcp. Again we notice
that the number of flights is growing at a slower pace or decreasing
more rapidly than the number of passengers. The increasing average
number of passenger per flight is explained by an improved load factor
and the use of larger aircraft.
Cargo With 34,608 tonnes carried, cargo traffic
was down 17% on the corresponding month last year. For the first time
this year, Brussels Airport records a decrease in all cargo segments
(full freighter, belly cargo and integrator traffic). These figures are
entirely in line with the negative trend in cargo traffic elsewhere in
Europe.
New routes On 3 December, Air Europe started a
two daily service to Madrid. Demavia / Fly Congo launched a direct
full-freighter service to Luanda and Kinshasa.
On top of earlier announcements, Vueling is to open routes to Alicante and Malaga in addition to its flights to Barcelona and Valencia. Thomas Cook Airlines opens four new routes: Bastia, Biarritz, Nice and Reykjavik. Brussels Airlines is to resume its service to Palermo and Aegean Airlines is adding a service to Rhodes to its current flight offer to Athens, Iraklion and Corfu.

Ryanair denkt niet aan verhuis naar Brussels Airport
De Ierse luchtvaartmaatschappij Ryanair koestert geen enkele ambitie om
vanuit zijn huidige basis in Charleroi te verhuizen naar Brussels
Airport. Dat heeft de maatschappij gezegd in een reactie op berichten
dat bij een eventueel faillissement van luchtvaartmaatschappij Brussels
Airlines de leemte op de Brusselse luchthaven zou worden opgevangen door
het aantrekken van Ryanair. De Ierse maatschappij benadrukt echter nauw
verbonden te blijven met Charleroi, ongeacht de evoluties bij Brussels
Airlines en Brussels Airport. Ryanair zegt zijn groeiplannen voor de
luchthaven van Charleroi onlangs bevestigd te hebben, waardoor volgens
de maatschappij de passagiersaantallen en werkgelegenheid op de Waalse
luchthaven zullen blijven toenemen. Ryanair zegt verder dat de Belgische
regering subsidies voor Brussels Airlines moet afwijzen. Financiering
voor Brussels Airlines moet volgens Ryanair worden aangebracht door de
Duitse groep Lufhansa, de belangrijkste aandeelhouder van de Belgische
maatschappij. (MH) Source: Express.be
