Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Maybe a few will come to SN but for sure not all. Besides, also SN will start to look to replace their own A330 fleet into new aircraft like the B787 or A330neo. Actually, it will be more between A330neo and A350. Someone asked if the 737max could go to SN to what the CEO answered that she would li...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

In the press conference this week, Dorothea von Boxberg spoke only about a 10th A330 in 2024, without mentioning any further acquisitions. And right before the press conference there were also a "town hall meeting" for the employees and some question have been rised regarding cityjet wet ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Dear all, I just saw that D-AIKG (645) that will join the SN fleet left on 28/02 for Guangzhou with flight number LH9922. Anyone knows what will be done there: maintenance, repaint, new interior ... ? Or will the plane start flying in LH colours :D Anyone knows when the plane is expected to land in...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

SN has indeed less long haul destinations....but the long haul planes are not full. Fun fact: Swiss has 22 long haul destination this summer, Austrian has 13 long haul destination. Brussels Airlines 20, of course most of them are in triangular flight. BTW, leisure destinations are not only pure lei...

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

So SN will only have 3 destinations in UK? I remember the days it also served Belfast and Bristol. Too bad they are reducing so many destinations. I can get they can't fill the a320. They should get a220 or wetlease smaller aircraft like last year. (this is what I want, not the most profitable prob...

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

I understand the W-pattern Crew1990 explains, but they'll need a crew to do the BRU-BOS leg and afterwards again a crew doing BOS-BRU. Quite a costly operation, no? It would most probably be a BOS based crew flying BOS-BRU-BOS or a EWR crew doing EWR-BRU layover then BRU-BOS and proceeding back to ...

Why should BRU become a "base" at BRU?

The aicraft can simply perform in a W pattern EWR-BRU-BOS-BRU-EWR like Swiss is doing with ZRH-JFK-GVA-JFK-ZRH.

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

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...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Brussels Airlines will extend the business class product to the full network from 1st february. So far, some of the leisure flights was exclusively bookable in economy class. To be more precise, it will be possible to book in business class for the entire network as from 31st january. And business ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

In meantime OS is seen better. They are receiving brand new B787 for their long haul ops. SN received a 19 years old A330 from LH. Austrian is getting 787 as there are no 767 or 777-200 within the group so as a renewal project, it was necessary and the most logical choice. By the way, within those ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Long haul is still not on the pre Covid level. From S24 it will even be above the pre-covid level as there will be 10 A330-300 instead of 6 A330-300 and 4 A330-200 Capacity will be above pre-Covid level. That does not mean that passenger numbers will follow the same trend. Did I say the opposite ?

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

Let's start (or continue) guessing. Some were already announced before, so they are not part of the game (SN to Nairobi, UA second daily to Newark, AC to Toronto, SQ tot SIN ...)? Two that are already operating to BRU ... (hm, hm) - Hainan to Shanghai - United to San Francisco ( :D more wishful thi...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Does it indicate that Brussels' long-haul activities are comparatively underdeveloped? There are indeed some room to grow on long haul sector. This is why the long haul fleet will grow at a rate of 1 A330 per year, thanks to the A330 leaving Lufthansa fleet. Why are they not in a hotel? Might not h...
