So, as I pointed out earlier, Adria used to help set-up Nordica, by offering its online Sales Platform and JP-codes to get the planes off the ground and fill it with passengers. Adria was a long-established and prestigious Star Alliance airline that essentially rented out its name, co-operation agre...

SN starts to Ljubljana, after Adria démise : https://www.aviation24.be/airlines/lufthansa-group/brussels-airlines/launches-flights-ljubljana/ Fun fact, but my neighbour in Brussels is Slovenian. (we just chatted about this) Though the schedule BRU-LJU is not great, they're happy with SN jumping in....

I feel kind of sad. When OV - Estonian Air went bankrupt, JP - Adria Airways was the vehicle used to start up Nordica (also gone by now) So, I had quite some Tallinn-Brussels flights with them, operated by a hoshposh of aircraft (even a BAe ATP from Oslo to Tallinn) Last month even a Brussels-Ljublj...

I strongly disagree with bringing more cars to BRU. Often I need to pick up and drop off people at BRU, several times a week. During rush hour it's truly horrible. For myself I always go with bus 12, it's really convenient. Hell, even the train is. It really is. Public transport in and around Brusse...

Asiana Airlines is currently financial crisis and has just started the sale process. Not only that, but the Korean economy is facing multiple issues.

-we can welcome soon Asiana! I would be very happy if this would really come through. Soon I go to Seoul via CPH and PEK, not very ideal And got visitors incoming from Korea on QR via DOH A direct link, I think, would make sense, especially if there will be cooperation with SN in BRU. Recently I he...

If they want a presence in Africa, they can enhance their partnership with Ethiopian Airlines, for East and Central Africa. They is already a strong partnership between Lufthansa and Ethiopian Airlines. Some Ethiopian Airlines flights, in Africa are operated in code share with Lufhansa. They are up...

Did SN cancel its Yerevan route?
I tried to look for April and it says there are no flights...

I seem to be able to book it
As from 22/02/2020 weekly to EVN on Saturday, back on Sunday
Later it (April) I find 2 weekly flights (Saturday and Tuesday to EVN, back Wednesday and Sunday)

BRU summer topic : As from 1st of July, flights of Nordica from TLL are now operated by LOT and no more by Nordica. Flight numbers are the same. That would be interesting to see LOT aircraft (except CR7&9) at TLL. LOT took over Nordica routes, as mentionned above a few weeks ago. I knew that, I pos...

I just received an e-mail from LOT informing me the flight number changed.
So far, all Nordica flights already had a LOT flight number (LO8XXX)
Now it's LO2977/LO2978 iso LO8177/LO8178

So, I wonder what's the logic behind it? Or a particular reason?

Timing and aircraft stay the same

Rich Georgians going on their holidays? Well yes, there is a middle class. And, with the conflict with Russia getting worse again (sigh), the only place you can easily get to, as a Georgian, is Turkey and the European Union (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jun/22/putin-bans-russian-airlines-...

My point, exactly. No other mention of SN in the whole presentation.

The page of the presentation above is;
Longhaul of EW today (so BRU is in a different colour, as today SN is a separate part of EW)

and it litterally says it will be realigned and not integrated in EW

What if Eurowings for instance takes over the flights to and from HAM, TXL,... as Eurowings has a strong German base? What if Eurowings takes over the flights to Heraklion, Marsa Alam, or other ex-TC-destinations, as those are clearly point-to-point? SN can still codeshare on these flights, but it ...

Finally some common sense. I think so too The construction of LongHaul Brussels inside Star Alliance and integrated in Eurowings was way too complex to be workable. And such a structure can't be lean and efficient. I think an efficient hybrid carrier in Brussels Airport can do well, plus it mixes t...

That went fast;
Lufthansa to re-open Munich-Tallinn 3x a week

(LH now performs Frankfurt-Tallinn 3x a day)

https://arileht.delfi.ee/news/uudised/n ... d=86576357

At least, airBaltic and LOT can jump in and fill the voids. I guess we'll see more airBaltic indeed, they're not too bad LOT however pushes you each time through Warsaw, which is not that great. The service is rather bad. Usual alternative becomes Lufthansa, which via Frankfurt is even less appeali...

Nordica is dead. LOT decided to close all Nordica routes as from July 1st. Only Tallinn-Brussels/Stockholm/Warsaw will remain, operated by LOT. As the same time, Nordica signed a contract where their planes will keep flying for LOT. This is a very sad, sad day A big loss for Tallinn https://www.err....

Amazing stuff going on here: "SN has become EW". We call it "massahysterie". Just one proof of the contrary: the Bruegel aircraft (OO-SNE). That A320 can't go to the paint shop in Malta or Hamburg next week to get Eurowings colours. It's part of a five year commercial contract, signed between Chris...
