During the virtual press conference convened to discuss the 2020 financial results of Brussels Airlines, management disclosed a few details that were not covered in the press release.
An important decision was taken with regard to the wet-lease agreement between Brussels Airlines and Eurowings Discover (the new name of the Ocean project for the long-haul leisure network of the Lufthansa group). Initially, Brussels Airlines should have provided Eurowings A330 aircraft on a wet-lease basis until the end of the summer 2021 season. This contract will now stop at the end of May 2021.
Brussels Airlines employs 256 people at its Düsseldorf base on behalf of Eurowings. Discussions are ongoing with the unions to find a fair solution for them. The Belgian cabin crew have already been relocated to Belgium. There are still 18 Belgian pilots, who might follow suit. The other employees have essentially a German contract.
Management also disclosed the following information with regard to Brussels Airlines:
