Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

A destination we don’t talk too much on this forum is perhaps Helsinki. What could be the reason SN is not flying to this European capital city? I know it’s not a star airport but traffic, yields and transfer possibilities are not high enough to fly Helsinki for SN? Sometimes hard to understand to m...

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

It's postponed, not cancelled. But those companies will also not forget it, it will not end by this. They will keep it in mind. Second, BRU has to grow on their own strength. Airlines has to come here bcs they want, not as a second option. We have already a very nice portfolio of new ones for next ...

Travel policy

Not sure if any topic on this forum exist already about corporate Travel policies. Is it correct premium travel is getting more restricted? Do companies rather restrict in order to cut costs? Or do we see an increase on business travel? Is business class allowance only something for big corporations...

Re: 2023 Liège Airport (LGG/EBLG) latest news

ASL airlines signed MOU on May 19th to start direct flights from Belgium to El Salvador. The press release mentions cargo and passenger traffic. I assume it will only concern cargo flights as the permit is granted ASL airlines Belgium. Therefore I also assume flights will be conducted from LGG. Comm...

Interesting article that says Slovenian government prefers to subsidize flights to Lufthansa hubs including Brussels, instead of starting a new Slovenian flag carrier.

As to the connections (with hotel lay over in BRU) to Africa that were mentioned in that Japanese news article: how common is it to offer this kind of connecting method?

Re: SN high yields to Nordic countries

I believe nijltje69 made absolutely a valid point. Probably it may make sense for SN to tap into those regional smaller aiports? What are you guys thinking about this possibility?
