Re: BRU Winter 2024-2025: News, new routes, airlines

Foreign airlines plunder the market and drink the blood of SN.
Some members here are happy about it......

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Before IAG was founded, SN and BRU could have played a role to BA and LHR in a much bigger extend then it did to LH. The added value of SN would have been significantly bigger for the first two. So why didn’t BA buy then? Brussels Airlines was for sale for peanuts, BA could easily have bought it. (...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

On a slightly positive note, in the interview obe referred us to, Boxberg's answers had much more substance than previously. She has learned, but is still under the orders of the Big Boss. Dorothea is a Spohr disciple. Like Christina before.. so many years lost...so many opprtunities gone...so much...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Well, the good news is that OO-SFC is back from MAN where she spent more than 3 months. I saw her arriving on Saturday evening, still wearing the classic BeeLine livery. SN long haul fleet indeed shows a nice aero-diversity : = Four (4) birds with the classic BeeLine. OO-SFC, -D, -E, -G. = One (1) ...

DELTA KLM AF has over 35 destination in USA and DN. With sometimes 2 or 3 flights a day. Also UK is primary market, as Scandinavia and Poland. AMS and CDG are huge Hubs with many African destinations. Thanks to genius CS and his sergeants SN stands there in its underwear. UA would already have done ...

And SFB would go to the paint shop in two weeks time. Finally. About time the EW-liveries leave the fleet. (it's almost 3 years after the introduction of the new livery and only 2 long haul planes have been repainted...) 6 Aircrafts...so 4 or 5 flights to Africa ! We hare far from the hub to Africa...

Big losses for LH, OS, SN...in Q1. To Many streikes because bad social climate in those airlines, due to poor and arrogant management.. For SN we can predict that the summer figures, on which they count as a holiday-airline will be fàaaar below 2023 figures. Giving up their (small) hub-function and ...

BRU has indeed double bridges. As a matter of fact, all bridges at the B pier are/will be renewed by the end of 2025. Double bridges for intercontinental flights and single bridges for short and medium haul flights https://www.facebook.com/share/v/hYv4AdTYir8MDjqt/ There is one triple bridge. Yes, ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

The absence of a divider curtain is not justifiable. As said by another member, all other non low cost airlines have it. It cannot be a major/expensive investment. It is, in my opinion, a question of respect towards high yield customers. SN's business class on the A319/320 is also far below average...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

It remains strange that Spohr launches news about Brussels to become a hub for USA to Africa traffic. UA.AC and SN have hardly 7 or 8 flights a day. SN flies mostly to french speaking countries in Africa. Not hot spots for US citizens... At the same time SN has to downsize European network, cancelli...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

That is all long haul. I understand (correct me if I ma wrong) that allocating new or additional aircraft to airlines of the LH Group is a "Group" decision. My conclusion is, again, that the top managers of LH Group and SN do not see SN as a priority and do not recognize SN's needs both l...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

I wonder why SN is not getting Embraer 170 or A220-100 present within the Group to serve thinner routes and to increase feeder service ? Again, you have to see the big picture as the brand is not independent. The strategy within the group is to simply operations and thus increase their efficiency -...
