VLM bases
Does VLM 'officially' have any UK bases? Somebody once said (on here I think) all planes return to Belgium at the end of the day. Sounds a bit bizarre.

As well as Belgium, they have aircraft based in Amsterdam and Rotterdam.

Hi Superpilot
No they don`t all fly home to roost, 2 based at Manchester and 1 at Liverpool
that I know of.
They do change aircraft over frequently which usually happens at London City
as this is the centre of their world.
One of the Manchester machines usually goes to Cologne and back on a Sunday and I think maybe linked with BWIA flight ex Manchester due to the times
and in the summer I think it goes to Jersey
G-I-B

LCY base?
Not so sure about the outbound traffic. AF/Cityjet have laid on a VERY early flight to ORY... come to think of it, their 146 stays at LCY overnight.

Re: VLM bases
Sorry this isn't related to the original post but I dropped my auntie off at London City airport for her flight to Liverpool last night. That was my first time to the airport and I was extremely impressed. The check in process was complete within seconds, literally. The airport itself is also very clean and efficient. From check in to departure gate it takes a couple of minutes.
