Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Hi all, Agree they should focus first on adding frequencies and de-coupling eventually triangular flights. However, I see also a possibility that LH/LX shift e.g. Dar Es Salaam to SN, just like they did with Accra. On Lagos I am not so sure. Nairobi is added now, but it is also offered by LH. I see ...

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines

Great news,

Although I do not understand that the flights are not nicely spread over the 7 days of the week :?

Cheers,

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Dear all, I just saw that D-AIKG (645) that will join the SN fleet left on 28/02 for Guangzhou with flight number LH9922. Anyone knows what will be done there: maintenance, repaint, new interior ... ? Or will the plane start flying in LH colours :D Anyone knows when the plane is expected to land in ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Hi all, On luchtvaartnieuws there is an article on the plans of SN in Africa. https://www.luchtvaartnieuws.nl/nieuws/categorie/2/airlines/ceo-brussels-airlines-wil-afrika-hub-op-brussels-airport-verder-uitbouwen Anyone has access to it, and can summarize it? The intro reads as follows: "Brussel...

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines

If I am not wrong, they stated they want to put more capacity on leisure / sunny destinations, which makes sense. Good route management means to adapt regularly. It doesn't make sense to fly 'empty' planes ;) Let's wait and see what the overall offer (number of seats) will be for the summer season. D

Do these figures include 'regular' retirement?

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

A destination we don’t talk too much on this forum is perhaps Helsinki. What could be the reason SN is not flying to this European capital city? I know it’s not a star airport but traffic, yields and transfer possibilities are not high enough to fly Helsinki for SN? Sometimes hard to understand to ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Can we expect until the start of the summer season more A333 to be repainted and/or going for maintenance ...?

I guess repaint takes around 1 month, while 'heavy' maintenance takes even a bit more ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Hi all,

Seems like OO-SBB will start commercial flights tomorrow 6/02, first to Paris, then to London.

If I understood well later this year it will get its Tomorrowland livery, now it is still white.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Seems now OO-SNE is in the paint shop, while OO-SNC seems to be parked and if I understand well it will leave the fleet too (LVF code) ... Can anyone confirm? https://sites.google.com/view/europeanairlinefleets/bel I have the impression there are more A320 leaving the fleet, while A319 are staying, ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

On the long haul SN is covering sub Saharan Africa. By any means, these are not premium markets and high yield destinations. In most of the group companies, if flown, such destinations are part of the leisure offering of certain subbrands. And having said that yes, SN is not a premium brand. It doe...

Re: BRU Summer 2024: news, new routes, airlines

Let's start (or continue) guessing. Some were already announced before, so they are not part of the game (SN to Nairobi, UA second daily to Newark, AC to Toronto, SQ tot SIN ...)? Two that are already operating to BRU ... (hm, hm) - Hainan to Shanghai - United to San Francisco ( :D more wishful thin...

From S24 it will even be above the pre-covid level as there will be 10 A330-300 instead of 6 A330-300 and 4 A330-200
Were it not 8 A333 and 2 A332?

ANA from Narita will become daily with 787-9 from 31/03/2024.
BTW: I forgot to ask where you found this information?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Now OO-TCV is in the pain shop @EMA ...
It seems they use the winter season (logic) to do more paintings and maintenance.
Some are 'in preparation' @BRU; not sure what that means since it is not necessarily the new planes (OO-TCH)
Are there maybe also adaptations to the interior?
