Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
If they ever would decide to reopen the Satellite for pax, it can handle 2 million pax a year and you stay in the same infrastructure. Is that still possible? (I haven't been inside the satellite since the 90's) Is there still aviation infrastructure left in the satellite? (just curious) I cannot i...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Atlantis, Let us be serious , there are no real experts on this forum. Just Aviation enthousiast. Some would-be experts use arrogant style to appear more clever. Quod non. So...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024
Not 100% related to 2024, but Spohr revealed some very interesting insight into SN's future : LUFTHANSA IS PLANNING A NEW MAJOR PROJECT WITH UNITED Lufthansa is involving Brussels Airlines in a new cooperation with United Airlines: Teams in Frankfurt, Chicago and Brussels are working on joint conne...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2024
Wizzair 5 flights a week from BRU in summer season. 700 to 800 PAX a week, each direction offered. Or will they fly via Hellhole FRA ? So what do you suggest then? What's your super bright idea to compete against those (ultra) low cost carriers operating from much cheaper countries than Belgium? Hi...

Re: Brussels Airport (BRU) infrastructure: future
Worst ? Over 25 000 reviews on Google. Not 1 or 10 reviews but over 25 000. Average : 4/5 :roll:. I think enough to have real opinions abt the airport Either people are blinds or they are paid by Brussels Airport to post positives reviews https://i44.servimg.com/u/f44/11/28/71/03/captu714.jpg Are y...

Re: Air Belgium in 2024
It seems that both A330NEO's will leave the fleet: https://simpleflying.com/air-belgium-retire-airbus-a330neo-engine-issues/ Yup, it is a statement of fact : I'm the original writer. Due to many problems with the RR Trent 7000. However it is the first time that it is told that there are problems wi...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
Maybe off topic; but can we please stop the constant bashing on SN ? SN ain't perfect ( you are never gonna hear me say otherwise ) but overall, it is doing OK with a slow but steady growth process. We should be proud that we still have a national airline that is doing OK and that is steadily growin...

Re: 2023 Antwerp Airport (ANR/EBAW) latest news
Not everybody lives in Antwerp. You'd be surprised how many people live in the 'parking lot'. Flights from ANR are targeting people living in the area. Just like at any other airport. But people from the parking are welcome too, even people from Holland. What a pointless discussion. What do you mea...

Re: Air Belgium in 2023
There must be another reason (like Sobelair's CEO used to have a holiday home near Kruger Park, that's why Sobelair still served JNB in the end) One of the reasons why Sobelair flew to South Africa was because Aldo Vastapane owned the Big Five Duty Free Shops at JNB and at CPT, and the Sky Shops at...

Re: Brussels Airlines in 2023
Flying (long haul) on SN has become like playing the lottery. As long as LH refuses to invest in a decent (in size), modern long haul fleet for SN, these things will continue to happen and customers will run away. (in the meantime: 787's for OS, A350's for LX) (as for SN: "here's 1 extra 15-ye...
