(The timing of these plans are of no surprise since there are ongoing issues regarding environmental impact, noise, pollution and operation at Zaventem which has been causing a few carriers, both pax and freight, to evaluate their future use of Zaventem.....there is a well documented and growing protest against Zaventem from NIMBY groups who are against the noise from larger aircraft and increased movements at night/early morning.....TUI & Ryanair have already changed their scheduling to placate the protesters at Zaventem)

Fact that it was in same week as Ryanair's announcement on ticketing is just mere coincidence that they will happily live with.
