DBR has indeed returned their A320's (PH-BMC and PH-BMD) to the two leasecompany's. DBR will continue to operate with the B752's (because they've the same cockpit layout as Holland Exel's B763's) and they're probably going to start short haul operations with B733's. The fleet of Holland Exel/Dutchbi...

I really think that BVA (Paris Beauvais) and NRN will be the next two hubs of Ryanair. I don't think that this decision will have any effect on the FR-operation at EIN. FR closed the GRQ and MST0-operation in Holland and decided (last year) to concentrate the operation in Holland at EIN. After all, ...

I also heard in the circuit of rumours that VEX is a possible candidate to buy the leftovers of VBA. But.... VEX was and is still interested in starting a new operation ex. CGA. And I also know that the new SAB/VEX-combination is not so enthousiastic about NRN. So maybe the new VBA will operate out ...

knack....

That means that they're going to try to sell the leftovers of VBird to a new investor(s) hoping that VBird will restart with only 1 or 2 aircrafts and with limited number of employees. And probably with an other name....

39 Million Euro's.....??!!!!

Now I understand why Exel (De Vlieger) did buy DBR instead of VBA. DBR had only 2 Million Euro's outstanding....

Bankrupt means in the Netherlands that all companies and clients who still have some money outstanding at VBird have to ask for their money at the curators' office. In plain language does this mean that all passengers who didn't receive their money back yet, never will receive their money back. The ...

No, it has just been confirmed by the court in Maastricht....

Dutch newspaper 'De Financïele Telegraaf' was today a bit more precise.... UITSTEL VAN BETALING VOOR VBIRD De Nederlnadse lowbudget luchtvaartmaatschappij V Bird, die opereert vanaf de luchthaven Niederrhein, pal over de grens tussen Nijmegen en Venlo, heeft uitstel van betaling gekregen. De prijsv...

Luchtvaartnieuws.nl, this morning. Sorry for the dutch language.... ExelAviationGroup: één vogel wel, één vogel niet 08-10-2004 DRIEBERGEN - De Nederlandse luchtvaartwereld vroeg zich de afgelopen dagen gespannen af of het noodlijdende V Bird zou worden overgenomen door de ExelAviationGroup (EAG...

It's all very dramatic for VBird, passengers and employees. VBA's aircrafts already left NRN....

What a shame!!! According to the Dutch newspaper 'De Telegraaf' the Exel Aviation Group did buy Dutchbird yesterday-evening. So, I think when the outcome of the VBird takeover was negative, the outcome for the Dutchbird-transaction became positive..... Maybe the financial difficulties of DBR are eas...
