 Less traffic at Antwerp Airport

During 2009 Antwerp Airport handled 169.446 passengers or 4,3% less than during 2008.

The current economical downturn is the most important reason for this loss. Fortunately the number of passengers rose significantly during the last quarter of 2009. The Antwerpen – Manchester service even had 17% more passengers than during the same period in 2008.  The airport handled 4,5% more businessflights during the last quarter of 2009.

Ostend Airport in 2009
Ostend Airport handled 3,6% less passengers during 2009 compared with 2008. The annulations of flights to Corfu and Djerba are the main reason for this result. (source : Metro)
EAT/DHL fleet leaves the Belgian civil aircraft register
DHL is very busy transferring its Belgian registered aircraft to other countries. The remaining Airbus A.300’s will receive Irish marks while the Boeing 757 fleet will be registered in Germany. This means that European Air Transport will almost certainly disappear from the Belgian aviation scene during the first part of 2010. More detailed info about these aircraft and their new marks in our monthly publication ‘BCARG Newsletter’

 New Taxiway officially opened

 

Flemish Minister for Mobility Hilde Crevits today officially opened the new taxiway "K"ilo at Antwerp Airport. This taxiway connects Apron 2 (Business terminal) with the existing taxiway "B"ravo, thus avoiding traffic going from Apron 1 to Apron 2.

The minister also announced that the Flemish Government approved the selection procedure to be used to select private companies as co-operators in the LEM/LOM structure that in the future will exploit Antwerp's airport.

Another step in this never ending story....

 New Air Force Airbus

Today, the Airbus A.330 CS-TMT was noted at Brussels/Melsbroek. The aircraft has large Belgian Air Force-titles on the forward part of the fuselage. As already known this leased aircraft is supposed to replace the two older Airbus A.310’s. These two aircraft are ‘famous’ for the technical problems they had during their career with the Belgian Air Force.
