An extra transit in BRU would not make sense for pax, certainly combined with long-haul flights. I have read in one other topic and in Airliner World that British Airways is planning to open transatlantic connection from Brussels. In this case, the hub in Brussels would be logic to optimize of seat...

Actually 3 for 2010 and the information were published in Airliner World

Sorry for my mistake

It seems that they have scheduled for the end of 2008 to increase the activity with two 744 ...

Yes Singapour also (my own experience)

As to the African network, I don't understand why SN is not copying the British Airways (BA) initiative which is to use A321ER aircraft with Business class sleeper seats and a regular economy cabin on the London-Dakar route. Why isn't SN considering to use the same aircraft on shorter African desti...

Does anybody have information about the next SN A330 the fifth long haul ?

I remember that in 2000 SQ was flying Brussels - Zurich - Singapour ...

It would be a very good news if SQ decides to come back to Brussels ... For my experience, the services and the planes are top and it's really a pleasure to fly with them !

49 with the fourth A333 ...

3 A319
4 A333 (1 stored until ????)
10 B737 (5 300 & 5 400)
32 BAe / Avro RJ ( 6 BA 146-200, 12 BA RJ100 & 14 RJ85)

No pictures of this event ?

It's more expensive to support a heterogeneous fleet than a homogenous one. For AF, KLM, LH, SAS, IB the company size is bigger and they can manage many different planes because the technical teams are bigger than SN. Following the example of Southwest, to fly with the same airplane is decreasing th...

F100 ? I believe that Fokker was declared in bankruptcy in 1996 ? Is Fokker reappearing like the Phoenix ? Nevertheless the F100 is very comfortable and quiet and it would be a good idea but I think that its capacity is not what SN would be looking for in the future. I think that 120 to 150 seats is...

If case of the replacement of Avro and B737 ... I think that they are going to choose Airbus because with the long haul fleet adding to the 3 A319, it would be less expensive to fly with a homogeneous fleet

Grtz.

Which kind of aircraft are arriving in 2008 ?

Yes it would be a nice decision as well as they will be able to have a homogeneous fleet with bigger versions (190/195 ...)

Hi,

I wonder which would be the best choice for SN when they are going to change its fleet of BAe and Avro ?

For me, I think that the Embraer family would be a good choice ...


PS Sorry If this topic already exists but I looked for but I didn't find

It seems that Arbus was looking for the A318 certification for LCY. In may 2006 a A318 landed on LCY ... what's the rest of this story ?
Has somebody information about that ?

Others solutions ... for Jet

A318 ... or Embraer 170 ?????

The question is to know which planes have the abilities to land on the favourite London VLM airport ?

pax ex Bru will probably prefer easyjet to GVA. flying on a pretty brand new A319 instead of a very old one Avro for the same service :lol: I prefer to fly with an old Avro in place of an Easyjet A319 because the place is more great in the belgian bird. Following my various experiences between ORY ...

Ok there are already Asian partners but I was thinking about an alliance like Northwest and KLM on the north Atlantic !

Why they don't find about this kind of alliance. With Hainan and Etihad it is for me a point to point alliance but it is not really hub to hub connexion. May be with Jet Airways ?

Hello It's my first new topic and perhaps I make a mistake and in this case accept my apologizes I want to know why Brussels Airlines is not looking for an Asian partners. With its european network BA and the African connexion would provide a interressant hub for a Asian airline and in the other sid...
