There is currently no Thursday early morning BRS-FRA-BRS rotation, which really is a bit of a loss if you're trying to get out to Europe or the USA. It appears to be because the Wednesday BRS-MXP-BRS...

BRS-HAM is pretty much Airbus as well. But BRS-TLS and BRS-CEG remain private flights (I assume they're still running?). I guess they're just full enough all the time not to be worth opening up?

Sat on -XI at BRU, waiting to dep SN2055 to BRS, and the APU has failed. Engines can't be started without it, so additional ground power is being brought in, and engineer coming over to look at it.
