VLM ceased operations 31st August 2018

Apologise for lack of airliner news I've been busy on social events I've attended I'll explain in future blogs, but for now recent news about Belgian's revival & short lived VLM based in Antwerp, Belgium. Since 6th August 2018 VLM had plans do cut destinations & focus on main destinations for London City, UK one of VLM's main attraction into London and Zurich, Switzerland. And also work on charter operations with their oldest fleet that operated in Europe was Fokker 50 before planning to replace the Fokker 50 for something like Airbus A320 it once had. By the time I've read the news on Google yesterday, I had no idea VLM ceased operations once again as it happened in 31st August 2018 with only 10 months of service. It was ceased operations on 31st August 2018 for liquidation.

VLM OO-VLI Fokker 50 new to Rio Sil in 1995 ex TP-SLQ seen in London City, UK taken 27thMay 2018.

This was my only VLM shot taken in London City, UK months ago on final approach.

Farewell once again VLM we'll never forget you as a aviation photographer...
