Are Brussels Airlines and Brussels Airport loosing it?
I have written in the past about the curious happenings that seem to affect Brussels Airlines’ flights from Vienna. You can read about them here and here. Last Friday however I got proof that flights TO Vienna can also be jinxed… Sadly, the event I am about to relate to you also shows that collaborative… Continue reading Are Brussels Airlines and Brussels Airport loosing it?
Can I do CDM alone?
At a recent informal meeting somebody posed an important, and very relevant, question: Is it possible to do collaborative decision making (CDM) alone? The question may sound like a contradiction in terms at first but it is not. And the answer is both yes and no. First of all, we must remember the First and… Continue reading Can I do CDM alone?
Brussels – CDM airport daylight hours only??
Collaborative Decision Making (CDM) is a vital element of the new air traffic management paradigm (you can read more about CDM in Roger-Wilco’s CDM category). Some airports in Europe are leading CDM implementation, among them Brussels. One would expect that operations at a CDM airport do not have to contend any more with such basic… Continue reading Brussels – CDM airport daylight hours only??
A-CDM project launched in Vienna – about time too!
If you read my rants and raves (here and here) about how collaborative decision making (CDM) was not really working in Vienna, you will be surprised to hear that there is in fact a CDM team there, imaginatively called CDM@VIE and they had a kick-off event with 60 or so participants on 6 September this year.… Continue reading A-CDM project launched in Vienna – about time too!
Do it yourself security in Vienna
Mind you, I do like Vienna Airport in Austria. It is a nice place which has managed to stay small in spite of becoming bigger. I also do fly from Vienna a lot and so perhaps it is unfair when I come with another story of a passenger handling hiccup… you know, big numbers and… Continue reading Do it yourself security in Vienna
CANSO joins ACI-Europe and EUROCONTROL to accelerate A-CDM roll-out
The threat of climate change, the global economic crisis and the resulting changes in the structure of the European aviation market have led to a renewed focus on efficiency and performance for Europe’s airports.

This collaboration revolves around… Continue reading CANSO joins ACI-Europe and EUROCONTROL to accelerate A-CDM roll-out
The saga of Brussels Airlines flight SN 2908 continues
Our regular readers will remember that back in June I wrote a post about how the passengers and, apparently Vienna airport itself, was left in the dark about the comings and goings of SN 2908… Passengers were being boarded into the holding area when it was revealed that the flight would be an hour and… Continue reading The saga of Brussels Airlines flight SN 2908 continues
Surprise in Vienna – When the system really fails
Brussels Airlines flight SN2908 is the evening counterpart of SN2901, the red-eye Brussels-Vienna flight that takes you to that magnificent city in time for a meeting that can start as early as 10.00 and conclude as late as 18.00 since SN2908 will bring you home comfortably. The only trouble with SN2908 is that it is… Continue reading Surprise in Vienna – When the system really fails
