I don't think so to build again what Alitalia is would be quite impossible today .
It has to be a national project that involves a lot of cash a state can only assume.

Let's agree to disagree...

I'm not agree an airline is a strategic industry sure for a country like Italy doesn't have to be profitable in my opinion.

If Alitalia went bust a few years ago as it should have, Air Italy would have been Italy's national carrier by now...

Corona is an excellent opportunity for the Italian government (and/or Alitalia's administrators) to do what has to be done. Close it down, blame it on the virus. My 2 cents: That should be done, but they'll do exactly the opposite. They'll use the virus as an excuse to pump in even more money... Ch...

I can only agree with the criticism!

Yes, there're (just) 2 Thalys trains a day, but the hassle with your luggage on trains is legendary.
I think there's a market...

Don't be offended, but these 25 minutes don't learn us much, us here I mean, the avgeeks.

Why would I be offended? I wrote myself... “Nothing new(s)”...

Nope, Brussels Airlines isn't a normal airline... it's a great airline!

Have a nice weekend, and take life with a smile!

That is a crazy and ridiculous rebooking indeed. Can they just reschedule your booking to a flight that will be operated two days later? I hope you can cancel and get a full refund. Unless you are a real avgeek and want to fly to Verona and back just for fun. But that should be your call, not their...

And Transavia reduced already the schedule for Verona from 3 weekly to 2 weekly, but no problem!

They rebook you automatically to the best the computer can find... see below...I really gonna do a lot of business there... in 40min...

Good old Brussels Airlines to VCE, here I come...

Cheers,

I would have chosen 2x4x3 or 3x4x2.

No doubt because of balance. The seating you propose would certainly be felt on the flight deck...

I remember a lot of MD11's were in a 3-4-2 configuration...

What about Cape Town?

A partnership is necessary!remember Citybird, they did point to point, was not viable..But there are options, like Jetblue for example.. paul CTB also had contracts with touroperators besides their own flights And we offered connections on Sabena and Virgin Express... Unfortunately probably to late...
