have made connections where I had to pick up my luggage and check it in again. I don't know how many people take a flight from company A to a certain airport and after that a flight from company B to their final destination. I wouldn't mind checking in my own bags at the airport after a train train...

With the localisation of BRU being the most western hub of the Lufthansa group and the fact that US pre-clearance will be done at BRU. I hope Lufthansa will see the oportunity to use BRU as a hub for US ops Within two years, Lufthansa should be able to outfit a handful of A321LR with a long-haul bu...

The shareholding may be an answer, less anxious/pushy to get a return on investment in the short term for Air Belgum, younger/leaner company has a smaller cost base, business customers want multiple frequencies and convenient schedules, leisure customers want cheap fares first. Also, when an airline...

With no change in frequency?

So O/D for CPT alone can fill 1.5 flights a week. Maybe 3x weekly for JNB/CPT is doable if they capture most of the demand and create new one. Definitely a leisure route though. Biz travelers will prefer KLM's daily flight.

Yakutia plans to restore the airworthiness of its SSJ100 fleet to replace foreign-made aircraft. In this regard, it is necessary to create a maintenance centre for the SSJ100 with the creation of a reserve of spare parts and consumables. Which would require access to sanctioned foreign parts, so th...

TUI already has the Max 8 and 787-8 on property and an outstanding order for the Max 10. They're not going to consider Airbus to replace 4 767s.

Latest news is that the SUITE lounge (at A pier) is now closed. C class pax. on SN can use the Diamond lounge, otherwise the only option is the LOFT (at B pier). Reception at the loft told me that the closure is permanent(!) but all pax. are welcome in the LOFT, as long as they keep track of time. ...

I assume that planes rented from Russian companies will not be recovered and will be considered lost. Is there insurance for lessor aircraft manufacturers that covers this type of risk, in this case war? Typically every risk is insurable until it is not. War may be an exception, but this is not an ...

RA-96019, Russian Government Ilyushin Il-96-300, on her way to IAD Washington. Maybe to collect Russian diplomats there? Likely usual diplomatic traffic (personnel, goods...) that may have gone over commercial flights before. The Russian diplomats expelled earlier this week were all at the UN in NYC.

Airbridgecargo a/c arent registered in russia, i wonder how it will work for them I think no plane from Russia will be allowed to fly from there. Question is how you define a "plane from Russia." As Acid-drop pointed out, registration is not very useful. Even Aeroflot operates planes on n...

Of course I see the logic in that. But it's only flying from one hub to another. I would prefer more flights to other destinations pre-corona. Those are still not in place. They prefer more to add a plane to fly to their own hubs... afaik Brussels Airlines has not reactivated its entire fleet yet s...

Repainting an A320x costs approx. $50-60,000 per American Airlines. Deadheading a crew is a marginal cost by comparison. If the goal was to maximize savings, Brussels Airlines would schedule the next aircraft to be painted on the evening BRU-LHR, then ferry the plane empty to EMA overnight, and bri...

Looking at other destinations in USA , but 'in perspective' DEN, BOS, IAH in that order probably mak...

United 998 BRU-EWR on December 27 will depart 2 hours late and make a stop in BOS for a crew change. Passengers will stay on to EWR. Due to COVID-related issues, the crew is not legal to file BRU-EWR non-stop. Very strange decision. Why would a crew be allowed to fly BRU-BOS but not BRU-EWR? What h...

SN does not fly today to ROB/FNA, and not exactly in the same area over Africa, but what do you think about having a "AirBelgium241" and a "BeeLine241" on the same freq .... ? As long as the call signs are sufficiently separate having the same flight number is OK. In either case...

450 seats in a 777? Don't count on me aboard! Mixed bag.... Small premium cabins, large coach cabin make up for a high passenger count overall. Also, coach has a shorter pitch than most, including Air France's Caribbean 777s - but the same as United's. On the other hand, Premium Economy and Busines...

Belgian would have been a better name... and indeed, why let the b go... this was appealing and strong : b l’île Brussels, Belgium, b xxx, etc... The vast majority of Belgians will know the name of "their" national airline even if it rebranded to Air Uluru. Brussels Airlines' brand is mor...
