Delta Airlines is going to offer now also direct connection via train link from The Netherlands to Brussels Airport. This to increase their capacity at BRU. AMS is of course not pleased about that. To have the long haul back at BRU is the first priority for the moment. Of course first via regular f...

On the other hand TuiFly Belgium offers trips to Mauritius, but via Dubai with Emirates. Maybe it would not be stupid for TuiFly B and Air B to sit together and use the resources and planes available here in Belgium, rather than giving the business to ME airlines, who are cannibalizing the European...

Another thing they should look into is operating the long haul flight on behalve of TUI. But there seems to be no relationship between both airlines. Why would TUI cut a deal with Air Belgium? If they really need the seats they can always fly the route themselves or put the pax on their flights ex ...

And RSA. Owh my God really? I just gave you an explanation on why it's a bad idea. Here some real numbers for JNB on a 30 deg day, QNH 1013, no wind, runway 03L : Maximum takeoff weight under the conditions with most favorable takeoff configuration (optimum flap setting, optimum thrust, and packs o...

Review of an Air Belgium kind of empty flight to Mauritius https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zEIYWwrwyw AB would better leave Mauritius to the French. Same story as Guadeloupe & Martinique. Or Curacao & Bonaire: leave it to the Dutch. concentrate on US West Coast, Mexico & Brazil. And RSA.

There is a difference between filling the planes and making profit. Seems like many dreamers will never understand that. This This is why I asked if someone can provide figures on profit on the South Africa flights. Something I still don't see From colleagues travelling Southern Africa (=RSA + neig...

MIA is better than MCO/SFB. Larger catchment area, way more US outbound tourism, not a one-trick pony for inbound (city, beach, national parks, cruise...), significantly more business travel than MCO. LAX and SFO make sense too. MIA & Orlando didn't work for TUI. What makes you think it would w...

No mystery at all. Thai Airways International had huge financial problems and was on the brink of bankruptcy. The airline had to sell many of its planes and get an infusion of money from the State. It keeps only the most promising routes for the moment. Thanks to share this news sn26567 i was unawa...

LAX and or SFR are logical destinations with stable markets, strong currencies and great potential of US and European citizens travelling both ways. (assuming SFR is a typo - closed anyway - but could be SFO or SFB?) SFB is not an ideal option. Bus service goes to Universal only, no other park. SFB...

According to articles behind a paywall in L'Echo and De Tijd , Air Belgium has completed the planned financial support of €10 million. It will not be new money, but new loans and an adjustment of existing loans by existing shareholders. The public shareholders will not invest ant additional money. ...

Wondering if there is any update about AIR BELGIUM, financial situation, new shareholders, ... and new destinations ??

We read in André's report about the Meeting of the Belgian Airline Industry that they also discussed the " need for an intermodal hub with HST connectivity at BRU ". Would be interesting if André could give more info on what was discussed during this meeting on this subject. If Gerber (SN...

This is exactly what is needed to convince also other carriers. Hopefully with codesharing of SN Airlines usually start new routes based on profitability forecasts, not because someone else started operating a flight to Manilla. Yields on flights to the far east are quite low, the ME-3 are perfectl...

First of all, 'more competent people'... Why are we even discussing this matter on a public forum if we refer to more competent people? And more competent people... I don't know how much Mr. Gerber knows about the Belgian rail network, but it is clear he is pushing the agenda of his airline. And ri...

In de TIJD newspaper today, the CEO of SN complaints about the political unwillingness to connect BRU with the HST-network. In times where short haul flights (less than 500km) are under pressure to be cancelled ( forbidden) it is impossible to understand. We had lots of incompetent Ministers of Mob...

Pilots in France (at least with Air France) have special fiscal status and pay only 12% taxes on income , compared to almost 50% in the Kingdom of Belgium. Absolute nonsense! There is no special fiscal status for pilots in France! Income tax in France is, indeed, lower than in Belgium, but social s...

Indeed Atlantis, there is no sense on that ! Better for Thai Airways to grow up flights in Brussels like before Covid19. There is many more other destinations for Air Belgium (why not Brazil, Mexico, Florida, California) !!! Thai Airways has to try it again in some time. They were flying the route ...

"Vakbondsbronnen melden echter dat de echte reden voor het schrappen van de vluchten een exodus aan piloten bij Air Belgium is." https://www.tijd.be/ondernemen/luchtvaart/zieltogend-air-belgium-heeft-10-miljoen-nodig-om-jaareinde-te-halen/10426852.html The Pilots exodus can be explained v...
