Just out of curiosity, are you aware of the issues with the PW1000 engines?

I'm not a specialist but in 2000 I took often the flight of Sabena between Nantes and Brussels for my job and the pax was good I don't now about the yield obviously. There you have it: Sabena had aircraft of all sizes, a huge network, very good loads, but went bankrupt! (Don’t get me started about ...

Just Aviation enthousiast.

Some would-be experts use arrogant style to appear more clever. Quod non.

Maybe no aviation experts, experts in trolling on the other hand…

Yep, let’s reinvent the laws of physics and the problem will be solved indeed!

A pilot who moves to a new airline drops at the bottom of the seniority list for the aircraft type and position they hold. SN's most experienced A320 captain will become the most junior A320 captain if they move to another airline. At airlines where pilots and copilots get to choose the routes they...

If I remember well, a part of the profit of last year was going to be paid to all employees as an extra bonus and that was not a small amount. It's not only a dividend to the shareholders You are mixing up two different things here, profit share is peanuts compared to management bonuses. Believe me...

The agreement was on the table. The pilots and unions agreed with the wage increase proposed by SN. But at the end, to compensate it, they had to deliver in 14 recuperation days from the 144 days. Honestly, who would accept to work 14 extra days/year to self-finance a salary increase? Can you even ...

I've read the strike will cut the (fragile!) profits in half... Well done pilots and all parties involved, well done! Ah, always amazing how people swallow this managerial propaganda whilst the same managers are laughing their way to the bank to collect big bonuses! A 10% pay rise for every SN empl...

BRU was a crossover point and fueling stop, not really point to point flights.

No, why do you think so?
SBC is operating Bamako with a fueling stop in Las Palmas.

I wouldn’t call two flights a week a “sign”.

You mean like one of the most competition distorting situations in all of European airline industry (Ryanair’s position in CRL), right. The only reason it still exists as if CRL is a small 2mio pax regional airport today is because of Belgium’s unique political set-up. Yes from a competitive point ...

Business decision are not emotional.

Correct! So may I suggest you stop bashing Ryanair for making money by flying from nowhere to nowhere?

Summer 24 vs. 23 +5 A320neo -2 A320 -2 A319 -2 CRJ (Cityjet wetlease) There is no extra capacity on short haul this summer. The industry measures capacity in ASK (available seat kilometer). 5 A320neo's is a significant jump in capacity. More passengers on the same route does count. 3 NEOs as 2 are ...

Nothing will happen! Why do you think something would change?

The main reason of the CityJet wetleases going feom SN to LH is the grounding of many A320 neo with PW engines. Originally it was indeed the plan to also have cityet wetleases for SN in S24 (they make profits), but it was reshuffled to LH because they will have over 20 a320 grounded due to the engi...

If you want to operate smaller aircraft you have to do like KLM, Finnair, Aer Lingus, Air France, British Airways, Iberia and TAP Air Portugal. To get your own regional brand affiliated to your parent company. KLM has KLM City Hopper, Air France has Air France HOP, Aer Lingus has Aer Lingus Regiona...

if you claim new aircraft, better income for employees etc these are all cost factors which would need to be covered in the ticket prices. Correct, but the impact is minimal, eg a 10% salary increase for every employee would increase the ticket price by 1,5% or less than 1€ for the majority of tick...

Are you impressed by reviews ?? Organized by BAC themselves ? Every airport of any big city in EU is way better than BRU. Maybe in Bulgaria, Moldavia... there are worse cases. What are the managers doing in their fancy offices? They make big plans like BRU 2040… nice video, blabla. Then nothing... ...

The new multi-storey parking tower. Parking for managers and staff. Any project for PAX? To improve convenience and facilities forpeoplewho pay airporttaxes. Staff and rental cars, rental car companies pay BAC as well. Don’t feed the troll! They know all too well that staff (their employers) and ca...
