Certainly not a good way to compete with AF on the Africa routes, as AF is refurbishing its A 330's with a new interior... Like I said, it was never intended to operate with the old cabins of CX and SIA. It is a last resort option in order to avoid cancelling 6 long haul flights a day (or operate w...

SNJ might be getting a new "Belgian icon" livery!

Do you have a good source? Or is this just a wild guess on your side? SNJ was painted in SN livery just one year ago.

From what I've heard, it's going to be either SNG or SNE.

Not sure but i think SFB still has is Cathay cabin. What happens then to passengers that booked a flight in the Premium Economy cabin? Must be quite confusing... Regards, Duke SFB has a 3 class layout. if i remember well, its current config is 16C/21PY/255Y There are many complaints about the inter...

Somewhere from around MSN 500 the standard range capability increased dramatically for the A330-300, at least 1300nm more than the early birds like SFO-M-N-V-W. SFK (MSN 570) is one of earlier birds that had the increased MTOW modification standard in the production line, up until then it was up to ...

All flights to be managed by the long-haul competence centre in Brussels!

What is your source for this?
Afaik, SXD flights are not in any way managed from Brussels.

SFN - 31.10.18
SFM - 30.12.18
SFO - 28.02.19
SFY - 30.04.19
SFV - 31.05.19
SFW - 30.09.19
SFU - 31.03.20

Us usual this is preliminary and subject to change.

Lufthansa is preparing to take over planning and control of Eurowings' long-haul network, as the subsidiary’s role in the segment evolves. So far the Center of Long Haul Excellence... :lol: The flights are still going to be operated by Brussels Airlines, it was never the intention that Brussels Air...

Terzakis can drop a message if he needs help.
I can make TYO work out for them and even MNL by next spring.

It has nothing to do with insider knowledge. Big Brother is/was a reality show. One of the participants, Betty, started working as a flight attendant for Brussels Airlines earlier this year, this has gained widespread attention in the (mainly Flemish) media.

The 4 A330 that will join for EW ops are 701 (SFJ), 570 (SFK), 645 and 648, all by the end of next year. The 2 A340's are going to leave the fleet next year.

How can SN's share get lower when its increase in May was 5.3% while BRU increased only by 2.4% ?

5.3% is compared to some month 1y ago.
Market share at BRU is compared to last month.

There is an SLA clause in the contract, if it is not met due to technical failures, Brussels Airlines will be (financially) compensated in some way or another. That is of course no use for the passengers which journey is delayed... Anyway, I heard rumours that the CItyjet contract will not be renewe...

That's the whole point of the long haul renewal exercise. The "new" aircraft are just arriving a few months too soon.

SFE will apparently sit idle for a few months before being introduced to the fleet. Any specific reason why this is, and whether the same thing will happen to SFD? SFD's cabin will be cannibalised to refit SFC. SFD will be stored until next winter when the new cabin is going to be installed. SFE is...

[BTW, what are EW pilots salaries compared to SN's?] Gross salary is similar, although I don't know exactly about per diems or duty pay of Eurowings, I expect this to be similar as well. German taxes are very likely to be lower (I don't know the German system, but the Belgian system is one of the w...

The first Singapore one (msn 1010 - SFE) is going into storage until the new cabin is going to be fitted, at the end of this year. SFC (MSN 895) is going to fly for Brussels Airlines this summer, in Brussels Airlines c/s. The Skyliner source seems to be incorrect. In other news, rumours are that no ...

Air Belgium delay's it start to the 3rd of june: https://onemileatatime.boardingarea.com/2018/04/25/air-belgium-cancels-flights/ Part two - and not the publicity they can afford: https://onemileatatime.boardingarea.com/2018/04/26/air-belgium-contact/ And Part 3, which does not seem to be a bad offe...

Well the difference between 3000€ monthly and 4500€ monthly for a cabin crew member is quite big wouldn’t you say? I think I can live with a “no breakfast” stay then :/ I was talking long haul captain salary's, not cabin crew members. You also can't compare gross to net salaries, since it depends t...

When you fly full time , you always reach between 2500 and 3000 at brussels airlines (thank to the per diem), I do not work for Lufthansa and I don't know their salary, but if they earn the double as you say (meaning they earn between 5000 and 6000€ a month) then indeed I would prefer their work co...

It’s a flight radar error. It’s still equipped with CFM’s.
