Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Sounds bad.... now what ? If the government stands their ground either LH will have to give in eventually or find funds elsewhere. Or they can let SN go bankrupt in which case the government *might* pick up the pieces for cents on the dollar and nationalise the airline. Or the government can give i...

New article from "Het Nieuwsblad" in Dutch: https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf202005 ... bpOsVsM1z8

Belgian government wanted to invest 390 million EUR (for 25% stock), LH declined the offer and stopped the negotiations.

And no double standards please. Air Belgium has just received state aid. Again. Sonaca jas just received state aid. Objections here? None.

Daar is 'm zene :roll: He has a point regarding LH. You just can't expect the Belgian government giving out a couple of hundred million EUR (even if it are loans) and then having LH using those funds to benefit LH. LH never was a good parent for SN and so it's quite understandable that they want gu...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Exactly. SN wants to focus on business destinations and on long-haul feeder routes. But this does not exclude tourist destinations, some of which (the most profitable ones) will be maintained. From what I heard in the press conference the main focus seems to be business, so it seems that SN is shif...

I'd rather fly longhaul in any A320 compared to the Boeing 737 which is quite frequently used for TATL flights. But a wide body is even better off course.

Re: Belgian Air Force news

I am puzzled by the registration of this Falcon 7X (OO-LUM). I can understand that it has no longer a military registration, as it does not belong to the Air Force, but to a private company from which the Air Force is leasing the aircraft. But I'd like to know the name of this company. It doesn't s...
