This problem might not have been handled in the most efficient way but that's not a reason to bash Brussels Airlines. Flying to airports like FIH, KGL, or DKR is a whole different story than flying between BRU and JFK. With lacks of proper infrastructure (no qualified mechanics, no proper spare part...

THAI has a LF between 80% and 90% on their flights to LAX and JFK. They are having good loads on these flights but their main problem is the yields. Costs flying these routes are very high (for example TG has to pay 20000$ per flight to the Russian for using their airspace) and questions can be rais...

The A and B piers are already more then BRU needs right now. I agree with that. Both terminals are mainly under used and have plenty of capacity to offer for new low-cost carriers. This is in opposition to the congested airport of Schipol with low-cost carriers (Transavia, Easyjet...) having establ...

Numbers of passengers flying inside the EU had an increase of 4.5% while the numbers of passengers flying outside the EU remained stable (+0.4%). I have to say I'm a bit disappointed by these figures because despite the arrival of new long-haul carriers in 2006 (Hainan, Ethiopian, Etihad) there wasn...
