Re: Can Belgian airlines be successful ?
I believe that the local market is low yielding. Can not compare to the German or swiss markets when it comes to business travel. Another problem is the size of the country. CDG, DUS, AMS, even LHR etc are all very close giving the local market lots of Options. Even attracting connecting pax a local...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
The airport has the same problems as traffic in general: it's a risk planning to get there by car because you might be stuck in traffic, it's a risk getting there by train because there might be cancellations, strikes or other delays. The reason why one would still prefer the car is because it give...

Re: Air Belgium in 2018
I think that the whole project from CRL was foomed from the beginning. They were really unlucky with cathay
Beating them with launching HKG from BRU. I do not believe that the market is large enough for both airliners..

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018
I think it honestly makes no sense to try to compete on the Asian market with just 1 route and not even every day... thats a waste.... certainly makes more sense to expand Africa and hopefully at some point North America... Personally I would have tried to make a deal with Air India that would allo...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018
It s not bad.. why 2 transfers? They are flying nonstop to Addis from most of their destinations out of Europe.. even BRU to Addis is direct on some days.. airport in Addis is not fantastic but one flies state of the art aircraft, service on board is excellent.. prices are really really reasonable.....

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018
Even if it's never too late in the aviation market, the arrival of PF at BRU indicates that it's a missed opportunity for the LH management, UA and SN. As for EWR early evening flight than for BOS. Probably, in 2019 and beyond, SN should keep flying daily on JFK with it's own metal as JFK is not a ...

Re: BRU Summer 2019: news, new routes, airlines
I am sure that there is a market for early evening NYC Flight out of BRU. We work s lot with NYC and most of our clients visiting take the evening to EWR via ZRH they would be delighted to fly out direct at around 18:00 a 19:00 from BRU. And that flight is excellent for those suffering from jetlag. ...

I agree.. their service is not What it used to be.. on the other hand they connect the world, and that s true.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018
SN pays the worst wages of the industry I keep hearing this by the pilot-supporters. Does SN really pay a pilot less than Ryanair? Also could someone explain to me how it's possible that SN pays the lowest wages, operates at one of the cheapest large airports of Europe and yet at a time when fuel i...

Re: Disappointed by Turkish Business product and in general!!!
Thx for this report. But...nothing new for me! I no longer fly TK for a long time, for political reasons, state company of a fascist dictatorship and global absence of services.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018
It is suicidal to strike now at SN. The airline is loss making, its future is at stake. This time next year might be EUROWINGS .. and striking in the middle of a long week end when many people are on vacation? That is cruel, to say the least.

Maybe British tourists visiting Brugges?

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2018
I agree, and i have noticed that they do check in trolleys for Free.. the only problem is BRU. I try to never check in Matthijs flying into BRU as ine can wait up to 45 min for the ligdagen to appeal on the belt!! And Sometimes even longer.. rarely less than 30 min..
