Rumors are that many SN staff signed up for the severance packages, some amounting to 6 digits and years worth of salary, but there is no money to pay for them, and that LH is waiting for money from the Belgian government to pay these severance jackpots. If true, it's time to shut down this clown s...

I believe (correct me if I am wrong) this is the first time the Brussels Airlines is included in the Network Airlines traffic figures:

Why fly to Newark? Let a second daily flight be flown by UA and look for another use for that equipment... Wow, is this the real Belgian attitude? After a lot of sad news in which a lot of people will loose their job, there are some (vague) prospects for growth and new destinations after the corona...

@737MAX: You don't have to feel offended. I wrote "some other members", this board almost exclusively discusses SN, almost nothing about TB is discussed, while it is the 2nd largest Belgian based airline. TUI fly deserves more attention on this board. Numbers are numbers, these are objective. In the...

TUI Airlines Belgium has just reported a terrible (financial) year: a loss of 74.559.513 €, Thanks for the info. I hope this also opens the eyes of some other members on this board. The max grounding is only one part of the story, the lease/loan is around $300k/month, or $14.4mill a year for 4 a/c....

Here are the 2 main articles of today: https://www.tijd.be/ondernemen/luchtvaart/regering-speelt-het-hard-tegen-lufthansa/10224556.html https://www.vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2020/05/02/premier-wilmes-schrijft-brief-aan-lufthansa-de-regering-geloof/ It's not in the articles, but Bernard Gustin is rumoured to ...

Unfortunately the consolidated loss does matter as, it’s in the books: 90 million plus 40 for 2019. During the years you quote debt went up from 400 to 500 million and 125 million state aid was converted into junk shares The marginal profit was based on unsustainable growth. What sums this thread u...

One of Belgium’s leading economists, Geert Noels, is not impressed by the bailout, on Twitter he talks about throwing money away and LH conning the Belgian state a second time. Based on a non-informative article in de standaard? De beste stuurlui staan aan wal. Haters gonna hate, that sums up this ...

Please get your numbers right. Brussels Airport had 72,904 transit passengers in 2019, even if all of them would have flown with SN, that would mean that 0,7% of their passengers are transit.

Funny, you want to dump TUI who has been the best pupil in the TUI branch, who went sustainably in 16 years time from 4 old B737 to a fleet of 31 most of them factory new b737 and B787... But you are ok with dumping public money in a company that hasn’t made a profit in nearly its whole existence, ...

I could understand BRU would postpone some investments but I do hope they'll go ahead with expansion plans like A-pier West. You'll need top tier facilities in order to attract (keep attracting) airlines. Why would BRU do that? 2019 passengers levels are probably only coming back by 2023 to 2025, h...

I read that Air Belgium is flying Belgians home from Argentina. Absolutely great, but why isn't Brussels Airlines doing this? Hi, it's a wild guess, but maybe because they BRU-based A330's don't have a cargo crew rest? OO-SFP has been transferred to BRU yesterday, maybe for this purpose? Flying car...

As from this year, Brussels Airlines will officially be included in the reporting of LH Group Network Airlines: "Brussels Airlines is managed by Network Airlines as of the start of financial year 2020 and has therefore been allocated to the Network Airlines segment." https://investor-relations.lufth...

My question is if you could stop posting all these links to the homepage? It’s not adding any value to the forum, only a lot of clutter...

The forum is becoming a collection of links to the homepage. It's getting used less and less for what it used to be: a discussion place between aviation aficionados ...

Why would it be worse at SN than any other (European) airline?

SFF & SFC if I remember correctly.

ATR's for Air Belgium?

"Previous experience on aircraft type ATR and or A340 is an asset."

SFX is finished since last week, it’s paperwork stuff that’s holding back the release.
SFH is indeed in Amman to get its new cabin.
It could/should go somewhat smoother indeed...
