Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

Like Lux_avi rightly pointed it out : how sure can you be that workers from ground staff to pilots at other airlines will not go on strike (even at Ryanair) ? Without even mentioning ATC (and not in Belgium only). Perhaps the best option is to go on holidays somewhere reachable by car ? Workers in ...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024

.... and as expected the strike will go ahead. I think I'll book my summer trip to Spain with Iberia or Vueling. I want peace of mind without the constant threat of strikes with SN. (it's really disastrous for their image but they don't seem to care, so be it) Exactly. Now now it goes about details...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

Any news on OO-SBC? I'm under the impression deliveries at SN seem to take longer than other airlines, but for sure I'm not an expert and probably wrong. It was spotted end of January at TLS, already painted in the new "measles" livery of SN, however still wearing the test registration F-...

Re: Airline bankruptcies, ceased operations, restructurations

A journalist from Brazzanews reports that "a source" told him that ECair's HB-JJE (Privatair 757-200) will soon take the sky: https://twitter.com/brazzanews/status/1758876049813667986 I call that rumor "BS": the aircraft mentioned is certainly NOT the HB-JJE, as they would need ...

Indeed, the aircraft will be painted at a point later this year at BTS.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

LH has a strong presence in India. They want us to fly to FRA/MUC and connect there on an LH flight (and vv). No competition allowed from SN. My two cents... Air India is also operating to VIE, so transiting through there would also be a possibility (surely easier and faster than through nightmaris...

Are you sure about that or mistyped OY-JYA (1830-1910 as SK597/SK2590)?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal

From day 1 LH has treated SN like an unwanted child. And while it's true they have helped them to stay afloat, it is only this bare minimum they have done for SN. Nothing more. While LX and OS are getting 787's or A350's, SN gets old second hand A330's to replace even older A330's. (and almost week...

Any reason known for this strange path?
I can't think of anything else than sightseeing?
After having discovered something (most probably a technical glitch) that made them turned around, they had to either burn or dump fuel to avoid an overweight landing back into BRU.
