Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Fully agree with RTM, and on topic ! The only thing I really don't like (but it has nothing to do with the fleet age) is the uncomfortable new seats on the A319/320. The thing we all wish (well, perhaps not all of us) is to see the long-fleet grow more quickly (even with second hand aircraft which w...

Re: Interview of CEO Gustin: Brussels Airlines renamed Eurowings? ...and other topics
LH can cope with industrial actions because it has the financial strength which makes it possible to loose a lot of money because of such actions without major repercussions for the airline's balance sheet (it will stay in the black). SN cannot afford it. If SN is 100 % LH, if the employees strike, ...

I don't see what Eurowings would be looking to take-over in BRU, as the shorthaul market in and out of BRU is already at saturation Well ...

Re: Interview of CEO Gustin: Brussels Airlines renamed Eurowings? ...and other topics
Perhaps a small reminder (accompanied by a personal note) : LH decided to buy 45 % of SN when Wolfgang Mayrhuber was at the helm at LH. Mayrhuber was an Austrian, not a German (different mentality as you will know). Then, he was replaced by Christopher Franz whom I will call the "Terminator&quo...

Re: Interview of CEO Gustin: Brussels Airlines renamed Eurowings? ...and other topics
And that setup will lead to a huge loss of employment to the people in the back office of SN. The brand itself is not so much the problem, but the cost of supporting multiple companies with their own ops, management, HR, PR, etc ... When all of this can be scrapped and be centralised under one roof...

Re: Interview of CEO Gustin: Brussels Airlines renamed Eurowings? ...and other topics
You know, you'll all keep fighting over Brussels Airlines or Eurowings, I think we should go for the 3th option, a dormant, yet famous brand: Sabena. I agree, but nobody seems to understand the added value of the Sabena brand especially in Africa, where LH will probably only allow brussels Airlines...

It might simply mean that the 2 brands may actually start to be offered next to each other at BRU too, with the clients able to make a choice who he flies with. Thank you for your reaction and attempt to interpret Gustin's words. However, I would not see the rational behind Eurowings offering fligh...

Thank your for responding to my question. In the booking confirmation which I received immediately after booking, it said "flight operated by Air Sicilia". On the e-ticket which I received later, it says indeed : operating carrier : BM Regional. (The flight booked is SN 3661 09 FEB SXB BRU...

Re: Trivia 2016 (miscellaneous news)
Didn't know in which thread to ask my question. So, I will try it here.
I booked a flight with Brussels Airlines. On their confirmation they mention Air Sicilia as operating carrier.
Is there somebody who can give me an explanation ? Thanks.

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels
According to Luchtvaartnieuws.nl " The airline (SN) is looking whether it can open a new route to Mumbay in co-operation with partner Air India". I interpret this as meaning that SN would be the operating carrier rather than AI. http://www.luchtvaartnieuws.nl/nieuws/categorie/2/airlines/br...

Re: Third daily SN flight to CDG
It was not possible in the beginning. Then it became possible until very recently. I don't know the reason why it is no longer possible. Would the flights be full or as good as full with connecting pax and SN doesn't want to loose the opportunity to offer long haul connections from/to CDG ?

It was a little surprising SN would be taking over (English) Toronto while Air Canada would retain (French) Montreal... Or might the SN flight come alongside the AC flight?

Re: Jet Airways out of Brussels?
both SN and UA have already requested slots, for respectively Toronto and Newark. This would mean that SN would fly to YYZ ? and UA perhaps an additional flight to EWR and SN switching its JFK flight to an evening departure from BRU ? Just guessing. I don't think AI will fly to BRU. It would be nic...

I don't claim to be an expert, but I would expect that higher leasing costs would be compensated by lower fuel and maintenance cost.KriVa wrote:Like I said before, leasing new aircraft is, or can be, a lot more expensive than operating "old aircraft".

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
SN cannot do the same because its shareholders including LH do not want to put money on the table, whereas TAP's new owners want to invest in their airline.
