Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

When Brussels implements its expansion plans, is there a chance that Rynair will return to the low-cost terminal? There is no low-cost terminal at Brussels Airport. Only walk-in gates at the minus one level of the airport which can be used by any airline, SN/FR/etc... It's actually level 0 ;)

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Interesting article on Luchtvaartnieuws today. SN would like to receive more A320neo's in the future. They are also looking for the replacement of the A330. The A330neo and B787-9 are in the picture. The A330neo is however not in the current LH group fleet. More chance for the B787-9 I think Would ...

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

About the UK, Brussels Airlines will have 4 flight a day to London Heathrow with A320/A320neo, It was 3 times daily during S23, 4 times daily with a combination A319/A320/A320neo during W23/24 so it's quite an increase here. Yes, but not an increase to be excited about. The sole purpose of this ext...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

BRU is a disgrace. One of the worst airports in Europe. Only the Connector and Pier A look more or less up to date. Rest is Sub standard. Ugly. Obsolete.Dirty. Worst ? Over 25 000 reviews on Google. Not 1 or 10 reviews but over 25 000. Average : 4/5 :roll:. I think enough to have real opinions abt ...

Re: BRU Winter 2025 - 2026: news, new routes, airlines

And, don't forget, to have the border control already at BRU for the States. Question only is when the government will give green light to set it up Which government? Belgian? US? Canada? Will BRU become a UA base if they do BRU-BOS? Only Belgian and US. But it's more the US government who has to b...

But at this moment the negotiations are on the way with UA, and the governments of course, to open the routes from Boston and Houston to BRU. Wich is not surprising at all since there is a big project going on between Air Canada and United Airlines to provide more flights and destination from the U...

And here we go...

They lament about the rising nitrogen exaust due ...

What are the proposal of this permit and wich organisation has to sign? One of the most important items in the renewing of the environmental permit is the MER, Milieu Effecten Rapport. But in this, BRU scored very well with all the actions and efforts they took since many year. Important in this pe...

Re: BRU Winter 2023-2024: news, new routes, airlines

A Pier West, like any other plan for improvement or expansion will not happen within the next 10 years. BRU is indeed condemned to an eternal-looking status-quo. It would be recommendable to improve P B-Pier arrivals. The dead boring corridor, the long queues at immigration, the longlong waiting at...

Re: BRU Winter 2023-2024: news, new routes, airlines

Knowing the lack of ambition from BRU, we can in the very best case only expect CX,TG to resume their plans to come(back) to BRU. AA has totally dropped BRU. UA is happy with a few destinations from BRU in USA and has more places to go from AMS to US. ANA perhaps a few flights more per week... And ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023

That said, in 2025 or 2026, when US pre-clearance is open in BRU and 789s or 78Xs become available, opening MIA or IAH would make more sense than a double-daily to IAD, imo, one-stop service between BRU and Central/South America without the hassle of clearing US immigration at IAH or MIA, neither o...

I would say 50 / 50. Both have premium eco. I know SkyTraxx has not good reputation among Avgeeks (but not outside Avgeeks community), but both airlines are 3 stars SkyTrax and RwandAir is ranked 90th and Brussels Airlines 100th, in the 2023 SkyTrax Ranking. https://www.worldairlineawards.com/world...
