Re: "Eurowings Europe" on track to start in March 2016
Dont worry. We will get there. We have proven wrong those who said and hoped that SN would be dead and burried 6 months after the arrival of Ryanair in BRU. And for that matter those who said the same after the start up of SN Brussels Airlines Let's hope so, BUT without the low oil price, state sub...

Re: "Eurowings Europe" on track to start in March 2016
If a low cost airline wants to compete to Ryanair, there are two possiblities: 1. you also rip off innocent passengers, not aware of the unusual conditions & abnormal surcharges. 2. you don't rip off passengers, but you save on all operational costs. Maybe the Eurowings contracts are indeed amo...

Re: Brussels Airlines June '16 figures: +3,8% pax
Indeed impressive. Not only if you take into account what happened in March, but also knowing that the load factor remained stable despite adding more capacity (1 Avro left but 1A330 added along with A320 and A319s and wetleases). It is quite the opposite, increasing frequencies leads to an increas...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
I actually have respect for fellow aircrew regardless which company they work for. oh so you mean that all your sarcastic comments about SN are meant in a good way? I'm impressed ;) Anyway let's discuss the important news here. Replacement of the long haul fleet. The 330 will still be part of the f...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Already now you can see the difference: flying on an RJ is getting increasingly rare these days. Just want till autumn next year: all will be gone then and replaced by more than 30 BRU-based A32F. About their plans for 2018 and further, tolipanebas: do we have to read that as 'bigger planes' or 'mo...

Also the lounge in the B pier has been renewed and expanded (doubled its size and can host 160 guests now). This lounge has also bee...

Re: Reopening Brussels Airport after the 22/03/2016 terror attacks
I do t understand neither why people 'escape' to AMS and CDG. What is the common sense of going to these busy airports using as much (or more) time than queuing in BRU (for the time being). What we need right now is people supporting our airport and not fleeding it due to this (temporary) check in p...
