Re: Air France looks for investors for Cityjet
Well I don't think you have a clou what you're talking about... E120 are not maintenance hogs. They've had a few issues with the propeller pitch system but that's about it. I guess if you don't count the ever returning problems with the flaps, airframe de-icing, prop de-icing, bleed leaks, airco tem...

Re: Air France looks for investors for Cityjet
-Very old fleet, nothing plausible to replace it with. Newer generation aircraft are not suitable for the low utilisation operation of VG's reverse hub operations, due to high capital cost. They need something with low capital cost that burns very little fuel and is younger than 20 years old. No su...

Re: brussels airlines to New York!
According to flightradar24, OO-SFV is doing JFK today! This a/c merely stayed 2 weeks in Malta; was it for cabin retrofit? The other 2 a/c stayed in Malta for 6-7 weeks for the retrofit... Does an "insider" have an explanation for this? Thanks. This one was just a retrofit, the other two ...

I've worked on one of their dashes, and it was by far the worst dash I've ever encountered, and I worked on a lot of them, including African ones. A...

Re: BRU reacts on the subsidising of regional airports
I suggest you guys just go to the AF website, and book a flight to CDG with a connecting flight from ORY. I am just curious if you find this a good idea, and if it works well. Would it draw a lot of customers you think? I think I know the answer to that. So the only way for SN to profit from the sub...

Re: BrusselsAirlines - the TURBOPROPS will come!
Follow my reasoning. If SN does operate night charters, the turboprops' daily utilisation will reach a level that would require a 50 hours line check every 3 or 4 days instead of weekly. Most items that need to be taken care of during the night are small items or MEL items that do not jeopardize op...

Re: BrusselsAirlines - the TURBOPROPS will come!
The maintenance planning will be different with a turboprop fleet. If the aircraft are new or almost new, they are less prone to technical issues. The nightly daily checks also fade away, leaving no work to be done at night. :shock: You will have a LOT of disappointed customers... Maintenance free ...
