Air Canada
Montreal – Brussels 28MAR20 – 30APR20 A330-300 replaces 787-8

Which means a capacity increase by +-30 seats on average, very nice!

STD 14:15 SN9901 OO-SND to OSR

Is this maintenance or phase-out?

Weren't they going to start BRU as well?

When can we expect a new Belgian icon? I thought one was foreseen this year as well?

I work in a company where exactly the same happens, everything for the Shareholders and the top managers-bonus.
Short term decisions,poor knowledge of the market, low repect for the customers... Quick bucks.
NOT Future-oriented. Will see what happens.

Off-topic but this looks soooooo familiar

I guess a rather logical move since the end of Thomas Cook:
- SN with free capacity
- TUI Belgium with too few planes/seats since they were leasing almost daily at SmartLynx, FreeBird, ...

My 2 cents...

BRU really seems the missing city pair (AMS, LHR, CDG, FRA, ...) - a pitty, let's hope the route gets started anytime soon!

Doesn't DUB offer the possibility to do the American Border checks before departure? So arriving at SFO as domestic?

That's correct.

Very nice summary, it seems 2019 was a very good aviation year for you André! Worst flight : MRS-CRL on a Ryanair B738. More than 3 hr delay on departure, when the pilot pushed the engines to the maximum and arrived 2 hr 45 min late at destination, saving the airline 180 x 250 = 45,000 euros in EU26...

But is it something specific? I mean, this can be a lot of things or even worse a combination of a lot of these things: technical problems on aircraft, crew scheduling issues, ATC restrictions, bad maintenance planning, too few aircraft to cover the schedule, ... For sure an escalation on this is ne...

Congratulations to Brussels Airlines! Today Brussels Airlines is part of Star Alliance for ten years!

Without attacking SN as an airline at all, I'm not sure if we have to applaud or cry for that Star Alliance part

Hi,

I made some booking also by now,

Hi cathay belgium, can I ask you one question please? Are these flights business or leisure? An impressive list for sure

Just out of curiosity: did you choose BRU-FCO-AUH-BKK (2 stop) because of the cheaper fare?

I guess anything is possible, if you put the right amount of money on the table. Sometimes, it just makes sense to have a third party do some modifications. EIN may have some special wishes in terms of integration or whatnot which could make the modification hideously expensive if done by Airbus, b...

There is Airbus A 330 of Aer Lingus on the tarmac at BRU?! EI-EIM Resting on stand 518 at BRU. Came in on delivery from TLS, and is here for mx at LH Technics for WiFi installation, will be delivered to Aer Lingus in December 2019. Quoted from jetphoto. No possibility for Airbus to install it by de...

Well it's a real "old skool" experience if you ask me. I'm curious to see how they can maintain offering this high standard compared to other legacy carriers.

Competition has never been so high one some of these routes... My bet: sadly enough, within the year another carrier will step out of some of these destinations...

For the 3th away game in the UEFA Champions League, 2 friends and myself went out to Istanbul to see Galatasary-Club Brugge. Great atmosphere in the Galatasary stadium and delirium in the 92nd minute with Diatta's goal. We are Bruges! Initially we didn't intend to watch the game because of high tick...

I arrived at IST on Monday afternoon and was surprised to see around 5 Atlas planes parked together at remote stands. This sadly explains why...

737MAX & Poiu: thanks a lot for these very useful reactions. I've used to fly on the sim with the 737NG (PMDG package) which came close to reality what concerns graphics/cockpit features/... But reading these kind of replies on this forum shows to be very aware that flying a sim is not flying in rea...

Is SN still flying to TLV? Security doesn't seem too guaranteed...
