Happy new year to the aviation.be/luchtzakers!

Btw, I saw one of the Air Belgium A34O in CDG last friday… nice bird!

What about the SN market share @ BRU?

Alitalia executives will meet with Delta Air Lines managers to discuss a potential transaction, that will involve mainly long-haul flights to the US. Air France, possibly in conjunction with Delta Air Lines, is planning to take a stake in Alitalia. When will the Italian government finally make a de...

What will be - in your opinion - the main expectations for brussels airlines in 2019 :
- destinations : new dots (if any…) on the world map, frequencies, etc...
- fleet
- marketing : new brandname, logo, corporate image
- further integration within the EW Group
- others

Do we have to understand that the brussels airlines fleet will remain stable in 2019? I mean… regarding the SN ops (not thinking about the EW ops)...

Germanwings brand should disappear from the market after June 2022, with Eurowings taking its place as parent Lufthansa main LCC subsidiary. that's still a long way to go .. thought it was more urgent to change the name after the crash in 2015 According to the last Spohr interview, the Brussels Air...

Brussels Airlines has announced new destinations Kyiv and Wroclaw: https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/lufthansa-group/brussels-airlines/brussels-airlines-launches-new-destinations-kyiv-and-wroclaw/ Best regards, Ivan Helsinki next? ;) (and perhaps some other seasonal services to the Nordics, e.g. L...

As said before, belgianwings could be the best compromise, by linking the belgian identity together with the -wings platform/concept!

Don’t underestimate italian people’s emotional reaction
In that case, I think that LH could prefer something like italianwings, just as belgianwings !

39,7% :D Once again, congrats to all SN staff... and warm salute to M. Bernard GUSTIN who just left, for its great job as CEO ! Compared to their market share at the begining of SN Brussels Airlines back in 2002 after SABENA demise, this is definitely what we can call a great success. Don’t forget ...

And btw, congrats to SN for March figures... and much respect to M. Bernard Gustin who left at the end of the month (he wrote some nice pages of SN, together with its dedicated staff... a nice personality!).

Hi, new to the forum! :D Actually I don’t think the Brussels Airlines brand will strongly change in the next 2-3 years. First of all due the well known name in Africa: (Sn) Brussels Airlines and due to the strong brand in its homemarket. However I do think changing Brussels Airlines in a more “Euro...

brussels Airlines market share @ Brussels Airport does reach 40% now (if I am not mistaken)!
Next step : 50% market share!

Regarding SN l/h, will JFK, IAD, YYZ and BOM stay ?!

One can discuss a lot about brands, we could have a look on Facebook and how many followers some airline have (only the ones that spring into my mind): Qatar Airways: 13,000,000 Emirates: 9,000,000 British Airways: 3,000,000 Lufthansa: 3,400,000 Air France: 7,100,000 KLM: 12,400,000 easyJet: 1,500,...

In my opinion, 2 brands @ BRU are not sustainable... It will be too fuzzy for the PAX, especially for those on connecting flights!

Still... my bet on belgianwings... even if - of course - I would by far prefer the come back of the Sabena brand! But who knows ? Retro is trendy... Sabena holds a strong héritage, for a bright future under the LH Group? What a buzz it could be ;-) Btw... the last Sabena livery could still perfectly...

And why did they chose Brussels Airlines instead of Belgian Airlines at that time ? Belgian politics! Some people in the North of the country dislike anything that carries the name "Belgian". That's also why the TV broadcaster BRT changed its name to VRT for example. Really?! This is crazy! Why cho...

In brief, "Count" (but one of the papers still mentions "Viscount") Davignon is sorry that he could not prevent the firing of the CEO and the CFO. But the differences of opinion between them and Spohr were irreconcilable. He will do the utmost to make sure the Belgian touch is maintained with a str...
