Just a pure speculative question: let’s say Brussels Airlines is going bust. What happens with the slots? Does Lufthansa own them or will they be put back on the “market”?

I had exactly the same thinking: what’s the benefit if there is no link.

I think they have more important worries than that language issue right now.

I am not an expert in management but can it be a plan of LH waiting to see SN going bust and then refill the open slots by their own aircraft based in Brussels?? Cause in the end, they got SN for very cheap money. It happened in my ex company as well. The mother company lets 1 daughter going bust, a...

If i remember well they already tried manchester and geneva (i think even a couple of times) in the past but was never a succes. Why bothering to try again??

Sorry, i dont have acces to the full article.

Yep, and already done 2 360’s over the northsea.

Personally i foresee some european flights to be axed and somemore being outsourced to cityjet, perhaps Eurowings. And along with that......yes redundancies as well.

This is not looking too well. The company i worked for was the same and ended up in a defunct airline. What is the reason(s)of all these lately cancellations??

About the aircraft, is this a wetleased aircaft??

I am really wondering what they will do if that 1 aircraft is AOG?? I think it is vital that there is some reliability in this early proces, especially when attracting new customers.

But is there a market for travelers from Antwerp (or Belgium in general) to Belfast City, Edinburgh, Exeter and Jersey, willing to pay the price of a stopover at LCY? Reverse that question: are ppl in Edinburgh, exeter etc interested to fly to antwerp???? I think when considering routes, there need...

Fokker aircraft never were comfortable, but to start operations on a short flight, if the fares are ok for the route and perhaps if they offer a Business class with the seat "next to you" free, it could work. I like te livery. At least no traditonal dull white and blue. All the best, Air Antwerp ! ...

I foresee a lot more flights will be outsourced together with making crews redundant.

My opinion.

I am not an expert but it seems in sept SN will also fly back to Bristol, also operated Cityjet.

Correct if i am wrong.

So two airlines from ANR to London City?

A request for slots does not mean that the airlines will use them.

Why do all the effort then in requesting them??

To sell them again with profit??

What’s the reason for Flybe to stop doing this route??

Was the loadfactor that really bad?

Closing down routes is not always a good idea: it will make the competition stronger and will also attack your profitable routes. It’s a difficult task!

Thatswhy giving those routes to a acmi partner!!

I foresee more sn flights transferred to Cityjet to cut expenses!
