Re: Will EK (Emirates) come to BRU?
3. EK German destinations can be explained by the agreement between the 2 govs in the 80's when Lufthansa needed Sharja as a cargo hub. 1V1, any idea for what period these agreements have been signed? 30 years or something? Indefinitely? What are the chances that Germany or any other country might ...

Re: WHAT ABOUT FUEL SURCHARGE?
A lot of airlines have lowered fares over tyhe last two 2 years and added fuelsurcharge. so basically the passengers are still paying the same fares (more or less). On the other hand for airlines it has quite some benefits: 1 no commission to be paid on YQ 2 on domestic markets (not all but some ) Y...

Re: Alitalia's future
today some rumours manifested that Toto (AirOne owner) was backing out of the "concordato".
If this proves to be true this would mean trouble as the AP fleet of A320 was foreseen as the backbone of the NewCo's fleet to reduce operating cost.
Will keep you posted

Re: Lufthansa targeting Brussels Airlines
Openskies will have to come up with something very, very extraordinary to squeeze itself in this very hard market. I would largely disagree with that: Demand is there in Brussels for more NA and even NY flights. BRU has one of the largest leakage numbers of Europe towards NA. LH and BA are surely i...

Re: Strike by Transavia
ROTFL: So while you take a laugh with my ironic job description of a CEO, thus failing to see it is a parody in reply to LX's remarks, you apparently think in parody about the job of a pilot yourself, comparing it to driving abus. So while you ironically attack me as passing my position as a lazy p...

Re: Flight cancelled & rebooked entitled to compensation or not?
well do not hundred percent agree: The EU regulations also stipulates that the airline must DO EVERYTHING possible to avoid the delay or cancellation. In an hub airport as Vienna clearly is for OS, possibilities to switch around aircraft are widely available to limit delays. so I believe he should b...
