... Care to explain why Melbourne is "not really an improvement for passengers"? Instead of supposing, why don't you give some arguments? Such as...; - Melbourne = faster immigration/less queues than SFB - Transport is most of the time included with TUI for packages, if any time is lost in commutin...

Or... they could reduce the fees a bit for everybody... your largest customer still benefits the most... but that ain't gonna happen...

According to Flemish Newspaper "De Standaard", Brussels Airlines should become a smaller but more profitable company. However, no employees are to be fired.

But if you want to expand in destinations/frequencies to such airports you can’t keep subcontracting. That makes sense as long as it’s a too small sub-fleet to operate yourself. In the US it's the most normal thing to subcontract everything under 100 seats... Example... https://en.wikipedia.org/wik...

Not being a professional... Is it correct there are 4 types of passengers - Unchecked departing passengers - Security checked departing passengers and passengers coming from Schengen flights. - Security and border checked departing passengers - Arriving passengers from non-Schengen flights. Is it co...

I hope that everyone now accepts that shit happens at every airport in the world, and not in Brussels only. You gotta be kidding me... That wasn't just accepted a zillion posts ago, nobody ever wrote nothing could go wrong!!! However, what some don't accept as normal is that a system went down 4 ti...

They needed a reason to extend the runway, don't think anyone else was candidate to play such a role.

Sometime I think the airport is there to give work to the local general contractors...

KLM already offers Thalys-tickets from Antwerp (ZWE) to AMS. As it's more KLM supporting this than AirFrance, I don't think ANR-CDG will be a thing very soon (and ANR-AMS neither).

I thought they were one company..

Because for travelling to CDG - either from Brussels or from Antwerp - the Thalys/TGV is already offering good service? Generally, I think feeder flights cannot be a prime business case; point to point traffic should be the aim. Because as far as I know the Thalys goes to Paris-Nord and not to CDG....

Dream modus on...
If they're successful, why not start a feeder flight to CDG?

What are the benefits of the codeshare besides selling tickets on the klm.com-website and earning skyteam-points?

That everybody in the City knows KLM...

I'm just reporting that technical problems is no exclusivity for Brussels Airport. Of course things go wrong in other airports, but the problem remains... the frequency at Brussels is exceptionally high and unacceptable (and Brussels Airport knows this as well, therefore they've offered very welcom...

Thursday morning: luggage belt total blackout for several hours at... Eindhoven Airport.

Your point being? Things going wrong 1 time at other airports isn't an excuse nor a defense for things going chronically wrong at BRU.

Maybe they looked at Edelweiss / Swiss...
Tourist routes are flown by Edelweiss but Swiss codeshares on them as well...

So this summer I flew ZRH-OLB with a Swiss ticked on an Edelweiss flight... operated by Swiss!
