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

On the BRU website press room you can read that there will be many news routes, including Brive airport in France, flown by Amelia airlines. Did anyone know about this? I don't think it was mentioned before. Ryanair has operated Charleroi Brive route, but they have decided to end the route. Amelia ...

Re: RwandAir & Rwandan Aviation News 2024

Forgot to publish a few days ago, why RwandAir has ended flights to Mumbai. Unsurprisingly, the type of aircraft is not suitable, in terms of comfort (probably also for cargo) or routing (technical stopover in Kenya). The airline will apparently try to find the right device. Apart from the Max or A3...

Ethiopian orders 8 B777x (alongside of its B777x F order). This is version 777-9. With the A350-1000 order, it is clear that the airline will replace its fleet of B777s (200LR and 300ER) https://bnnbreaking.com/transportation/ethiopian-airlines-bolsters-fleet-with-boeing-777-9-purchase-first-in-africa
