Qatar Airways has decided increase its flight frequency to Brussels to one daily. For the moment this is only 5 times a week. This was announced by Akbar al Baker, CEO of the company during a meeting with Belgian foreign Minister Didier Reynders at Doha. No date was yet announced when the increased frequency will be introduced. Qatar Airways flies to Brussels since early 2011 and wants to increase its flights to what the company calls the "Capital of Europe". De Qataris are also interested in the expansion of an African network for which Reynders proposed a collaboration with Brussels Airways, which serves a large number of African destinations.

MATT YOUNKIN & HIS BEECH 18
RETURNING TO THE 2013 HAMILTON AIRSHOW  The Beech 18 was never designed for aerobatic flight. However, that doesn't make it incapable of doing just that. Matt Younkin's performance begins with a roll on take off followed by a series of Cuban eights, point-rolls and even a loop. Matt performed for the first time ever in Canada at the 2012 Hamilton Airshow and some people say his performance stole the show. We are pleased to welcome Matt Younkin and his Beech 18 back to the Hamilton Airshow.HAMILTON AIRSHOW LAST YEAR | |
RCAF SNOWBIRDS
ALSO RETURNING TO THE 2013 HAMILTON AIRSHOW  While not a noisy, fast or as modern as some of the other aerobatic teams out there, the Royal Canadian Air Force Snowbirds always put on a first class performance that is second to none! The Snowbirds demonstrate the high level of professionalism, teamwork, excellence, discipline and dedication inherent in the women and men of the Royal Canadian Air Force. The Snowbirds have flown the CT-114 Tutor jet since 1971. The aircraft was designed and built in Canada and is used by the RCAF as its basic pilot training aircraft. The jets are painted in a distinctive red and white paint scheme symbolic of Canada's national flag. As members of the nation's military, the Snowbirds are proud to fly Canada's colours across North America. | |
