Re: Brussels Airlines in 2019

So much for a point-to-point airline. H.A. Everybody with an ounce of good sense said from the very beginning that integration into Eurowings was a big mistake. Only Carsten Spohr and Thorsten Dirks thought otherwise, with the consequences that we know: three years lost in the development of Brusse...

Re: Eurowings in 2019

I really cannot understand how CEO's like Spohr, Brito, Ghosn and many many others can get away with the enormous blunders and bad decisions . They waste billion of Euros and still can keep their position for a long time. When they are finally are kicked out for poor or even disastrous management , ...

Re: Air Belgium in 2019

I'm afraid the whole business plan of Air Belgium has turned out to be a failure. They want to be a low-cost airline in a situation where Belgium is already invaded by numerous low-cost airlines, and with our "national carrier" being transformed into a low-cost also... Secondly, they chos...

Re: Air Belgium in 2019

Every airline is working hard on new destinations. So what do you mean: new own routes, or new destinations operated on behalf of other airlines? On their own routes, as someone asked when they will be announced. AB A340 plannings are almost full. Let's see if they can launch their routes including...

Re: Air Belgium in 2019

I think they will be happy to see Air Belgium engaged in a profitable activity rather than in loss-making scheduled routes. Sure, they will be more then happy when there is Return On Investment in sight. That is, if the ACMI operations are profit-making. ACMI prices are through the roof with B787 a...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

TGV/ Eurostar connections easy to realize from BRU. Perhaps not so easy as implied: with its measly three platforms, the railway station is close to maximum capacity. It must be said, though, that this is at least partly due to its use as a terminal station: some trains occupy the platforms much lo...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

If OW would want to grow at BRU, maybe with BRU acting as a reliever hub for LHR with BA starting an hourly shuttle service between BRU and LHR, update the B-pier and re-install the old 9W-transfer center at the middle of it, allowing a smooth transfer between arriving international flights from OW...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

Indeed nothing is to be expected from LH. AA would be a nice extra at BRU. How about Norwegian, that would definitely be a great plus. I wonder if one of the ME airlines (Qatar Airways preferably) could fly US destinations via BRU. That would be a big jump. They could establish a Belgian Subsidiary....

Re: KLM to end flights between Amsterdam and Brussels?

The real issue here has nothing to do with environmental concerns. AMS is almost at full capacity and had to refuse slots to some cargo companies already. Remember the Russian Cargo airline losing its slots, one or two years ago. Poetin was about to close Russian airspace for all KLM flight ( quite ...

Re: National strike in Belgium on 13 February 2019

Mr. Descheemaeker, CEO of Brussels Airport, complains in the press that his company (and the rest of the economy) will loose a lot of money because of the strike. The CEO of Brussels Airport is Arnaud Feist. Mr Descheemaeker is the politically appointed Chairman of the Board. And yes, his political...

Re: BRU infrastructure: future

Picture from 27 april, found on twitter. Apparently, passengers had to wait about 1,5 hours for passport check. This is getting ridiculous. Tweeting "it's not our fault, it's the federal police", does not solve anything for passengers. Action is needed. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Dbxfss6...

Re: BRU infrastructure: future

On the video BRU 2014 you can clearly see that Pier C is reserved for Ryanair, Tui and probably more low costs airlines. That would be a pity really to give LCC's such a premium location. The Sky Hall is a central cross point in the whole airport lay-out. It would be a pity to use this as an event h...
