Chaos in Brussels

Theres been a thunderstorm is the important bit 😉

And what does that all mean? I can only read the clouds, air pressure, but that’s all:s

Not too good!

A thunderstorm just arrived. Hope the diverted planes can land safely now in Antwerp.

The weather here is fine. By the way if the weather is bad, it’ has to be very local because Antwerp is only 50 km away of brussels. And if AVRO RJ’s can be diverted to the 1510 meter runway in Antwerp, then the weatjer may not be too bad. One of the pluspoints of the ARJ’s. DAT was originally based in Antwerp, then ordered ARJ’s, and was then taken over by Sabena, and operations were moved and re-organised in Brussels.

I don’t know about BRU, but in Dutch Limburg there has been terrible weather earlier today. Hail stones of 3+ centimeters (1+ inch), lightning, heavy wind… you name it.

Another flight scheduled to arrive from Verona (Air Dolomiti) has been diverted. The schduled “arrival” time is 22.14. An Avro RJ100 coming from Madrid has been diverted to Antwerp. An Avro RJ85 coming form Warsaw has been diverted to Antwerp. For the rest, nearly every flight is delayed for about half an hour!WHAT IS GOING ON!!!

I live fifty kilometers north of Brussels and the weather is calm. I don’t know about the wind however, maybe the wind makes the airplanes obligated to use 2 or 20, which probably can’t take all the congestion?

very chaotic indeed, is there any kind of storm in brussels?

I wanted you to tell me because I indicated that:D. It’s an AVRO RJ100, which are currently undergoing D checks. Find more delays and trouble at www.brusselsairport.be

Can you tell me why they have a plane coming from brussels to brussles, or is there an airport i dont know about?
