The Brussels Capital Region has been trying to impose noise fines on carriers, which is, unsurprisingly, driving them away to other airports, with Liege expected to be a beneficiary. Yangtze River Express has pulled out, along with Air Cargo Global, and now Magma is threatening to leave if the situation is not clarified. Air Cargo News has the story.
