The only correct price is the market price Aer Lingus is currently sold at 1,08€ so the FR bid is 20% above the market price. Well, I surely would be very reluctant to say such things! Many companies are undervalued/overvalued by just looking at their sharevalue, for the simple reason investors alw...

Where did I state pprune as a source of info?
I did quote an opinion from Pprune, though.

EBAW Flyer is correct, there are so many parameters that play, that if you weren't in the cockpit that day, you should refrain from criticizing.

Reading the threads here you'll find lots of pilots who dream of flying KC-10's or KC-135's, tanker planes! For all the others on commercial aviation minimum fuel is the rule, and it will always be, unless the oil price drops significantly, which I don't thing it will. So stop moaning about it and ...

Hundreds of flights declare fuel emergencies over the world on a daily basis. At some airports like BKK and many thunderstorm-prone area's, it's a routine. IMO considering that they stayed in the air almost 3 hours beyond their normal trip time, they had to declare an emergency at some time. Plus, t...

I did not see this happening. I was definitely wrong about AA's strength in BRU, but the bankruptcy court probably didn't allow to keep this strategic route. SN will be happy I guess, as they've basically driven them out of BRU. This being said, who knows what happens next and whether it will transl...

It's easy to say that they need to cut costs. I said it already: Outsourcing, pilot base in Ireland, sub...

2) it's my belief that Sn and many European Airlines should lower their cost on their European network, not increase service. In that sense it is interesting to see what US companies do/have been doing/may be doing in the future! How do you suggest they do that? Most costs are fixed and shaved to d...

Eurojt, give me a few examples of how Luxair is a high quality airline? For instance, how is their hard product better than SN's? See, you're not reading what I'm writing. ;) I'm talking about a Virgin America-like product. That's what I call a good product. Inquirer: Like I said Inquirer, I always ...

Increasing revenue is the other way : a higher price for the same product is not possible now. ( many companies' bookkeepers found out about the Flex tickets which carried about the same price as before, and the result was that many sales people were bluntly told to fly less ). But you can increase...

Your hatred never seized to amaze me... High cost/premium airline doesn''t work anymore! U'r really out of touch with reality! Come and see what is happening here in the US and you'll find the answer of where the industry is going! your ideas just are totally ludicrous in that sense. You are advoca...

Dont know if this is the right topic, but according to hln.be SN is receiving 25 million euros in support from the SN airholding. This might mean that SN would make a 20 million euro loss this year. If this is true this means SN's calculations have been right. Profit is only planned to be made mayb...

I guess they will add some more A319's and A320's. Will they keep wet-leasing planes, or have their own fleet of 6-8 Q400's? The RJ100 will eventually be phased out, but does anyone know by when? And will there be a replacement, like the E170 or E190, or the CS100? Are they thinking about these dec...

Though the B737 isn't flying all that much, the load-factors seem reasonable for a start-up. A whole bunch of it would probably be George Forrest traffic, but it seems that Korongo has also been able to appeal to the local wealthier customers. I think that the real opportunities are in the more regi...

Easyjet does offer quite a nice product despite being a LCC. My personal ranking is: 1 BA -Best longhaul product, best lounges 2 AB -Best shorthaul product 3 FR-Vast offering of destinations, good value, on-time performance, safety, but image and attitude 4 TP -Overall good performance 5 AZ -A rebor...

Out of the 30 or so Western European airlines that were surveyed...

The MRJ definitely stole the show.

It was ok, not that spectacular. It was just an airliner drawing 8's in the sky. The most spectacular display was the Korean T50. This year's flying display was truly limited and poor. Those who didn't go didn't miss anything... My personal highlight was to see what an a320 looks like with a pair of...

I don't find the analysis compelling because I know from a very very good source that the revenues increased less than capacity on the European sectors. Tolipanebas gives you an analysis of all revenues combined and all traffic combined from the balance sheet, but didn't SN have extra capacity last ...

Rome and Madrid are popular tourist destinations which make it fairly easy to attract impulsive leisure passengers, provided the ticket price is set low enough: I doubt many people will impulsively book a trip to Bristol or Newcastle however; they surely aren't doing so to Hannover right now and th...
