Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Before IAG was founded, SN and BRU could have played a role to BA and LHR in a much bigger extend then it did to LH. The added value of SN would have been significantly bigger for the first two. So why didn’t BA buy then? Brussels Airlines was for sale for peanuts, BA could easily have bought it. (...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
There are a lot of Asian players upgrading from 333 to 359. And LH was pretty Quick in securing tactically right fit deals in the last year : just to mention here the A359 for Edelweiss and the 2 additional 789 for Austrian. It would be interesting to see as well how the plan to grow LH Cargo to 10 ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
According to a newer interview with Aerotelegraph the remaining A330 from LH should migrate to Discover.
So, let's see if SN's growth ambition may be fueled by external A333

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
IAG is much more brutal in degining the strategies of their brands. Iberia's short haul is clear lower Profile- Iberia Express. Aer Lingus is clearly communicated a value brand. Would it be so unlikely that SN would have endet like BCN? P2P LCC Shorthaul (Vueling) combined with low cost long haul( L...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
If as a shareholder i getting after 8 years 2,8 Mio for 55% of the company, than it was bad.
Likely the initial shareholders did not received even a portion of their investment.
Would you borrow me 1.000 EUR and i'll give you 10 EUR back?

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
From 2011 to 2014 the local management managed to reduce debts from -80mil (in the year 2011) to -4mil (in the year 2014). 2015 and and 2016 were both positive, respectively 41mil and 15 mil. That is not correct, between 2012 and 2015 the cumulated loss was above 100 million euro and the debt went ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
I think that it's always good to recall history facts and not emotions based. After the collapse of Sabena, SN was a restarting entity with the infrastructure of a regional airline - it had 32 AVRO/BAE's, 4XA319 and 4xA332. 4 years later it merged with Virgin Express, a small (10 aircraft) LCC. You ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
SN is a local brand and hssvto integrate into the big picture. This comes always at the cost that the design is different vs a fully independent company. The outlook is nothing special, just enforcing the alignment into the fleet and product strategy. - as a small brand, there is money to be earned ...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Who is flying may be an issue for employees seeking a trip to the US. In a JV where both partners share cost and profits it's equal. And it's a fair share - UA and AC are bringing additional TATL planes in the game, SN is bringing more in Africa. Of course, not everything that has a business rationa...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
One major point was that BRU has noise cap as from 2031/32, thus the number of flights can't be rather increased after a certain level, thus the only solution would be larger aircraft. So likely in the overall picture there may be additional factors putting the 330 NEO outside or at least at the edg...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
Easyjet is a LCC without any focus on cargo business. I would assume that SN is counting on some belly cargo revenue, which won't be part of the economics in any 321LR. Not surprisingly, LH is seeing the 321LR and XLR rather as a part of Eurowings and the current 40 A320family options may be part of...

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
If you want huge Hubs with African destinations, MUC would be ready. No big deal to paint the A330 in Discover branding, cabin product is the same and you'll have other 30 planes connecting you to the US. BRU is by no means a center of the airline Industry. SN has for the time being a guaranteed nic...

AF-KLM Group - approx 580 aircraft , there of approx 180 long haul Lufthansa Group - approx 720 aircraft, there of approx 200 long haul So yeah, AF- KLM is bigger.You should be consistent in your bashing.

Re: Brussels Airlines' fleet renewal
But the majority is not at the standard of aviationn geeks.
And 90% of the perception is rather driven by cabin design. On long haul it makes a difference, but on the typical European short haul route rather not.

Most of them especially in the leisure part do not even know with whom they are flying.
