Re: Brussels airlines future and financial prospective?

I was talking about the word URGENCY :-) Oh, I see. Well everything is relative of course, but things could be much worse still. Maybe it's because we're used to something already? ;) What concerns any plans, I don't think this is the place to have a chat about that. Lets have a beer when you're in...

This came from my LH sources. Ask Toli I guess they should know by now.

Re: Brussels airlines future and financial prospective?

LH wants to ground BruAir's Avro and B737 fleet before the end of the year (OS and SN being their biggest problem) so the airport tax problem will solve itself (much smaller fleet) and BRU can not be forced anything. Replaced by what ????? Who will pay ??? VIE has just been forced to accept the new...

VIE has just been forced to accept the new realities by OS, so its high time BRU is forced to accept it so by SN.

Re: Brussels airlines future and financial prospective?

No indeed, yet the interesting thing is they did this faisability study prior to their surprise purchase of 45% of the shares of SN. If the excercise would have shown that operating from FRA would have been a profitable venture for them, you can be sure LH would immediately have added a couple of A...

Re: Brussels Airlines vs Desert roadshows

Next is the Emirates roadshow in AMS by the end of the month. Are there many SN pilots thinking the same way, considering all options as they lowered their treshold to 3500hrs jet above 30tons? The answer is YES. Never seen that many Belgian pilots in Dubai for an interview, never had that many mai...

Re: Orders at Dubai Air Show (13-17 Nov 2011)

According to sources I can rely on : "EK isn't able to pay for their 17th 380 ! They have ordered 90 of it but the 16th is staying for now 5months at Hamburg waiting for delivery" The situation is obvious: they aim for big, but they are running out of cash ... they want to expand a little...

Re: Emirates vs. the rest : Der Spiegel Online

Read my question thoroughly, it's about international flights (Emirates in particular) from Seattle taking passengers away from Vancouver. Apparently, it's only US bound passengers (=final destination in the US) that use Seattle instead of Vancouver, according to that article that you linked to. If...

Re: Emirates vs. the rest : Der Spiegel Online

Don't forget Seattle is Boeing town also. And the rumor is we've extra B777's coming. (announcement at the airshow) I don't think Seattle will drain that much attraction from Vancouver, who is going to drive 2.5-3 hours, going through border control, just to fly Emirates? Here you have the answer t...
