Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

They aren't flying planes either. Why is SN the European network airline with biggest decrease in flights?

A more than 5 times bigger relative decrease than main competitors AF and KL. :shock:

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

SN in handling the refunds horribly. When I searched "Brussels Airlines" on Google the first autocomplete suggestion was "Brussels Airlines refund". Every Facebook post of them has dozens of people complaining about not getting refunds. What is the problem? :? If the state aid wa...

Anyone knows, when SN will publish its winter timetables ? Or did they already publish it ?

Air France will operate only 50% of its capacity and probably thanks to the, the airline domestic network
I doubt it: KLM has no domestic network and will fly more than 55% this winter.

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

the covid-situation has evolved from "cancelled flights" to "significant schedule change flights". Do you think so? They just cancelled all flights to/from WAW during a "significant" part of September. Hi Andre, As from 25.08 LOT will also not fly anymore to Belgium. P...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future

As expected..... Such a pity they don't use this opportunity to create a great new, unified design for the entire front facade. Now it's again typically Belgian: different styles of 'koterijen' (sorry for the word ;) ) next to each other. We'll never learn I'm afraid. I had too look up 'koterijen',...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Indeed, it seems that the Dutch have cultural differences with most of Europe, as can be seen in the current EU discussions on assistance to countries hit by the coronavirus. Aviation is no different. That isn't much of a problem when you're in a good position. Applies to the Dutch government as th...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Belgian state has the power to deliver slot to Africa. If Brussels Airlines collapse, everything will be granted to Air Belgium or TUI fly. In my opinion, if bad mother Lufthansa get rids of Brussels Airlines and Austrian. Maybe Brussels Airlines and Austrian could join forces. Brussels Airlines fo...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Did I miss something, or is the deal that's being discussed about a LOAN ? if I get it right, the belgian state still borrows money at an interest rate close to 0, and will lend 290M€, at a decent rate, to SN... So actually, "the belgian taxpayer" will pay nothing, on the contrary, he wil...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Speaking about the LH-group, so not only about SN, there is a thought or proposal to sell one of the members of the group or to bring that one to the stock market. To sell one of the members is highly doubtful as nobody is eager now to buy an other airline Interesting news. The same applies to the ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

I think that the "network" is not realistic at all. For Africa and JFK, you need the opening of the EU borders. That's not going to happen this summer. Ibiza and PMI are not going to host any festivals and most likely the nightlife will remain closed. So not much else to do there except t...

Cat person here as well, all I can say is well done !

Netherlands’ Court of Audit rules that a 2019 move by the Dutch government to buy a 14% stake in Air France-KLM was not in accordance with the country’s laws. What now? Nothing. It was ruled that the minister should have informed the parliament beforehand but the parliament did approve afterwards. ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

SN has already used economic unemployment several times in the past, so even when the force majeure unemployment related to Coronavirus end, as long as they have staff surplus they can keep staff partly on economical unemployment. https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20091014_052 https://nl.express.liv...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

Where is the government going to spend 20% less on? Education, healthcare, pensions? All things that also benefit the same SN employees that you want to tax less. It’s way too easy to just propose huge tax cuts without saying what consequences you accept. Also the powerful unions in Belgium would n...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2020

The promise of Miami, Newark, Boston and A321 long range aircraft is a way to soften the negotiations but these can't never be made. It's not that it may never happen. Maybe it will but why is it that suddenly Lufthansa is announcing all sorts of growth plans for Brussels Airlines while in the past...
