Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020
But the value of that fleet has just been decimated, no leasing company is going to buy it from you for a descent price. The value of the 380s has been reduced to the value of the aluminium. LH Will have to book enormous losses on their fleet. If you'd sell them now, yes, you'd have to book the cur...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020
Not really related to B.air itself, but rather Belgian aviation as a whole:
According to de Live newsfeed of De Tijd, a formal demand for public financial support has also been made by 2 other passenger airlines of our country, TUIfly and Air Belgium.
No news about Air Antwerp (yet).

Re: Impact of the coronavirus crisis on aviation
I think the measures taken by Mr Trump indeed haven't been thought through very much, if at all even, beyond just the fact that it will show him decisive in the face of this crisis. The man clearly is in full panic mode now, not listening to any scientific advice and obviously fearing the only thing...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020
For a reminder: Brussels Airlines is an integral part of the Lufthansa group, which isn't exactly a weak company financially, to say the least. Lufthansa knows too this virus and the over-the-top reaction to it by the flying public (spurred by all too much media attention?) is not something which wi...

3 brands all right, but isn't Air Transat part of Air Canada too now?
